Default Chicago!!!Lookin for great performance shops!

Hey everyone! I live in CHicago and lived here my whole life, but I'm having trouble finding domestic performance shops for work such as supercharger installation and those higher end pieces of equipment and other unique installs that i just don't have the time to do alone.(so many freakin import shops(cough cough...pieces of ****) anyways Does anyone know of any specialists that are really good? Anywhere in the Chicagoland area is cool. Thanks everyone!

Outlaw Motorsports

My car just got finished with a A4->M6 swap from them. I couldn't be happier with the service and quality of the job. Give Tony a call and ask him about it.

Outlaw is defintley the place to go. Call Tony and you'll understand why. 815-730-3900 or 877-HP-REBEL

My car is the other one involved in the trans swap. Tony does awesome work and his customer service is great. Outlaw will also be doing a bigger custom grind cam and N2O for me too.
