Well there are a few shops around here that do tunes. I suggest you check out www.mnfbody.com. I'm sure you will find a lot of info on all the local shops around if you ask about it there.

I would just go to chicago and get it tuned at Speed Inc. Jim is a great tuner and the drive is not bad. I am assuming you have a Turbo? If so they do a lot of FI tuning and are great at it.

There's a lot around. I'm from north of the Twin Cities. If you check out that site its surprising how many people are on there from pretty close to home. I can think of 2 guys that are from my town.

I agree with another poster that TPIS is pretty good, but how come no one has mentioned Doug Rippey Motorsports over in Buffalo? When it comes to LSx motors and the tuning and building thereof, I consider him tops in the game here in the Midwest.
