Default Cam install Chicago aera

I have a customer a little south of Chicago looking to fine a shop to install one of our cam kits. Could someone recommend a good shop close by? Thanks

I will never ever recommend these guys! They can't tune! I wasted $500 on them for a **** tune, took the car to Speed Inc. and all is well ever since.

My car just made 640HP/521TQ after installing my Procharger and has far better manners and driveability than it ever did with tuning from Speed Inc! Everybody has their own opinion but I wasted much $$ in Schuamburg, that's all I know.

I would say to check out the shop before you lay down your money and best of luck

I'm glad that things went well for you, I wouldn't wish the experience I had with them on anyone.

It's good you were satisfied with your experience at the other shop as well, after the things I found from previous work performed in Schaumburg I will never be back. I won't go in to detail but the things uncovered from the work done there were really bush league garbage and i would not wish that on anyone as well.

Car is a true beast now, very satisfied. Guess opinions are like the old saying, everyone has one. Good and bad from any shop...
