Default Dyno Tuning

The time is approching for me to take the car and get it tunned. Since no one tunes around SW Michigan I am going to have to drive to either Chicago or Detriot to get this done. I guess I'm looking for some advice on the places listed below to see where I should get this done @. Thanks for the help, Mike

Wheel 2 Wheel
FLP
Speed Inc
Greenlight MS
Outlaw

If I left one out please fill me in.

Ive heard nothing but good things from FLP cept for what Damage Inc said. Outlaw is another you left out that Ive heard nothing but good things, Im leaning towards outlaw when I need it cause my budget isnt quite up to FLP Snuff.

Dan at FLP is by far the one of best tuners around. Dan will safely tune your car for power and reliablity. Keep in mind when bringing a car in to get tuned, make sure nothing has to be fixed. Doing repairs to the car is NOT included in the the price of tuning and any repairs will just cause your car to be there longer and cause other appointments to get backed up.

FYI... Damage's story is a "little" off.

Head over, we just had a customer from Detroit come down last week.
We are literally a 1/4 mile off the highway so you wont get lost.

Dan at FLP does the tuning for HP Corvettes. Not many shops bring their cars to other shops to have the tuning done.

Yep Outlaw was good to me. Made the trip from Detroit and they (Mike and Tony) took their time and did exactly what they said they would do with the car. The cool part is they took the time to explain every step they where doing to the car. Great shop to go to. They will definitely see my business again. Real Soon.

You should definately head to shuller motorsports in clinton twp michigan. Their tuner kirk used to tune for APE which was in clinton twp michigan but when they went out of business he started his own company and now is involved with Katech, which is also in clinton twp. His shop is in one of katech buildings and he is one of the best tuners in the area.

This link has directions to katech, but Shuller is in that same court.

pm me if you have any questions
