I have heard great things bout Straight Line Performance in New lenox, and Speed Inc did the tune on mine. Then there is Also Finish Line Performance. All shops are sponsers. I am not familiar with the tuning prices off the top of my head, but it shouldn't be too hard to look them up and send them a PM for a quote.

Prodynotech in Crawfordsville, IN did a great job on my truck and the guy has a long history in this industry. He teaches at lincoln tech, done instructional videos for snap on, and he also mentioned he use to tune for callaway

My vote also goes for Pro Dyno Tech, although it would be a bit of a drive for you. Good guy, knows his stuff. His partner, Priscila, is a fox, too.

Straightline, they won't let you leave until you and they are sure they got the best out of your car. New lenox ill. Not real far from indiana.

Straightline or Speed Inc. Can't go wrong with either.

We can for sure take care of you on the tune. Our earliest appointment is on August 8th. Give us a call any time, or PM me if you want to set something up. Thanks for the recommendations everybody!

I do believe Speed Inc tuned your car correct?

yup and their a great bnch of guys and have no complaints what so ever. they went above the call of duty when they did mine. But straghtline is a lil bit closer for him and the wait time for hime maybe a lil longer if he went to speed... But either shops are good places to go

We would be more than happy to tune your car. We do all of our own tuning here... we don't have other tuners coming to the shop to do the tuning. We do not lock the converters just to achieve a higher dyno number. We do not over spin a stock motor to achieve a higher dyno number either. We also use the SAE correction factor as opposed to the STD correction factor which is usually good for 10 to 15 additional "horsepower". We have seen several shops all over the country do these "dyno tricks" just to get you a number. We give you real world numbers. We don't tune on the edge just for a few more horsepower either. We believe in the longevity of the engine.

We take pride in our tunes. Dan spends more time on tuning that any shop in the area... that's a fact. He spends a lot of time on wide open throttle, part throttle, and driveability. We road test the car too (cruising). That's why we have you drop off your car for the day. We don't hand you your keys after one or two pulls and send you on your way.

Dan is the best and that's why he is busy with tunes. So busy that we purchased a second chassis dyno (AWD) this year. If he can tune his 2500 horsepower twin turbo Mustang... he can tune your car. You are in good hands with Dan.
