As far as shops I would go to Boostin Performance hands in Addison hands down.



Dude, pretty sure Devo Tuning closed like 3-4 years ago.
devo tuning is open now under another ownership. 847 842 8200.

It will be nice if you guys can give him some price range so he is not broke after paying a shop $500 when some shops will charge $350 to dyno and tune.

Devo tuning did close but Adam still works on evos . From daily evos to road race and rally

I personally from experience recommend Strictly Modified and APM Racing

Congrats on the car! If you're looking for a shop around here you're going to have to go to Chicago. I hate driving to Chicago but the good thing is it's where some of the best shops in the world are for Evos. Cisco from Strictly Modified is one of the best guys I've dealt with in the industry so far when it comes to customer service and satisfaction. Devin at Boostn is a great tuner also and seems like a good guy from what I've seen. I haven't really dealt with him though. I'm not trying to bash any shop that's for sure but I wouldn't recommend AMS. They are a good shop don't get me wrong but I just think since they've went on to bigger and better things, they don't take the time on Evo's anymore. They are also pretty expensive, but they do spend a lot of time on R&D with their parts.

If you need anything let me know. I'm one of the other Evo'ers in Decatur and would be more than happy to help you out if you need it. Tsidrift1 is very knowledgeable when it comes to these cars so I would recommend asking him first if you need anything. Feel free to PM me if you need anything or just want to meet up sometime.
