Where to go for a good reasonable tune?

I live in Elkhart, in. About 2hrs away from Chicago.


I have an evo 8 with mild bolt ons and was thinking of having somebody look over my current tune. Prefer to stay reasonable $$$ and not far.
Will be goIng with e85 and slightly larger turbo in few months

You have AMS, Boostin, Strictly, or There is always guys who do remote tuning. I tune with Tom from Tcompusa and I am very happy so far!

There are plenty of shops that are somewhat close to you including: Devo 2ning, Boostin Performance, AMS, Strictly Modified, GRD and so on that will all do a good job for ya! Or as tsi said, you can get remote tuned by several supporting vendors on EvoM.

AMS are pricy, but you get a tuned car that is safe, reliable and fun. Strictly modified are good guys, i just take my car there for work, boostin, i hear good things about too, definitely a more cost efficient route.

I'd rather not go to ams. I've been there before when my friend had his sti worked on. I talked about doing my rsti and decided that I'll have a local do it instead.

Suppousedly the car was tuned by a guy that used to work for ams.

Go see Devin @ Boostin Performance. He dyno tuned my car over a year ago with no problems and Im still very happy. I thought about AMS first as well but they are just too pricey.
