Default Tuner in SW Michigan

Looking to finally get my car dyno tunned, but as far as I can tell I am going to either drive to Chicago or Detroit. So I am looking to see who has had personal experiance with tunners/sponsors in either areas.

Note: If any sponsors happen to come across this can you please PM me so we can begin some dialog about prices and what not. Thanks is advanced, Mike

Sean at C.A.R.S. tuned my car and seemed to do a great job on it but I'd personally recommend Wheel 2 Wheel over them as I'm not impressed with the numbers or track times and Livernois I haven't delt with personally.

All shops mentioned are good IMO, except C.A.R.S and I say that only because
I have no personal experience with them and that they aren't sponsors here.
We like to support our sponsors. W2W and Livernois would be excellent choices
in Michigan. FLP certainly would be a great spot in Illinois. My car was done by
Livernois and she runs alright for a daily driver.

I have heard good things about W2W.

CRAS. I will give you my feedback on soon. They ra edoing the tune on my car. I know someone that went there and had there car done and is very happy. He runs 11.3 NA all day long, car idles very nice and the owner seems happy.

Vector Motorsports out of Mt Clemens. He fit me in real quick. I went to Livernois last year and did not like the tune. It had some issues (went there twice for the same things). Went to Vector and it drives perfect.

I would not recommend Livernois either.
