Default Chicagoland Tuning?

Hello, I'm looking for a local tuner to the Chicagoland. To be more specific I'm located in Braidwood, IL. I have an '84 Silverado with an LQ9 and 4L80e trans in it. I am looking for a good all around tune for it.

Any help to a tuner that is close that would tune it for me would be greatly appreciated.

Straightline in New Lenox gets my vote! They are sponsors too.

i have an appointment at speed inc this thursdy for a base tune. Im in Joliet and although straightline is in the next town over, i literally called them 4 times left a couple messages and emailed them and have not heard anything about open dyno time or tuning time. Last i heard it was 300 for a base tune on dyno i believe from straifghtline. I called speed inc they answered my questions and now i have an appointment with them at 9 am thursday for a base tune for 150. I dont think its on a dyno but i dont need one really i have minor bolt ons and gears. I am going with speed inc because
1. they answered my damn phone call

2. They are half the price and do the same thing i am tryin to accomplish at straightline, which is emissions stuff, ratio changes and a base MAP

Because all shops/tuners tune cars differently. Each shop is unique in what they offer. Gained 17 HP from having a car retuned by a different shop. All base tunes should fairly be the same, but when Dyno tuning you should get answers first.
