R and T's in Peoria, but I had bad luck with them when they tuned my truck. Gave me some BS excuse as to why they can't tune it. Heck, I told them I talked to the guy that designed LS1Edit and they still fed me some more BS. Said they couldn't tune my truck cause the program is locked cause of emissions. That was awhile ago.

Speed tuned my truck and my car. I wasn't too happy with my car tune. Seemed to stumble backing out of my driveway when I pushed in the clutch and runs fat IMO. I tune bikes part time at a shop in town....wish we had a car dyno!!! Not trying to dis Speed in anyway cause they have been very helpful and will continue to buy some parts there.

My new setup I'm hauling my car to Livernois in Michigan. I hear good things from there and I'll try something different. Either that or I'm going to buy a Wideband and tuning software and tune myself.

I had really good luck with r&t's and i was just there about a month ago or more for my tune. Previous tune i think was speed's and it was terrible rich when i got it from the previous owner. R&T's is in canton now behind the ford dealer.

I forgot I did hear they moved. Like I said, I'm not trying to discredit anyone. They did not charge me for the tune since they couldn't do anything, which was cool. Glad to hear you had good experience there!

As far as I know it's on. Check CSS again...they are getting a group together. I know it was originally supposed to be a Midwest Cruisers event, but the management double booked 2 car clubs. Midwest Cruisers backed out, but there is still a cruise happening as far as I know.
