Looking for any recommendations for the best tuners in this area? Thanks!

I have heard good things about Nickey's I think they are near the Chicago area and have heard great things about Livernois and Janetty also.

My 125 dyno’d 635 and has run solid since 2014. Back then you had to send in several data logs to get it just right, now he makes you buy an AFR wideband , so he will get it right the first time. Besides he has always picked up the phone and answered any questions about performance.. He was the base for most of the original owners when these cars were bought new..

Pros n cons Just because a guy has a hammer that doesn't make him a carpenter. Experience is something I had to earn over the last 45 years, and I will be the one tuning your car. Most shops bring in outside tuners and go through them like candy so you never know who is tuning your car. I am one of very few shops that both own and tune so, I personally have my hands in everything day to day. I appreciate you considering JRE for all your performance needs. Ted.

Ken is into everything… He is associated with Porsche, Ferrari, Ford, Chevy, the likes. Yes he has always had the inside track for magneson sc, and exhaust for new Chevy products. The shift to C8 is only because Mary killed the Camaro.. I would again look at Janetty as he was doing this on caddies long before the ZL1 gave birth.

I recommend NicKey performance. I personally own a NicKey car and I love it! No issues or drivability problems what so ever. NicKey tunes his cars on the dyno and the street for everyday drivability. The tuner is also one of the mechanics that builds the engines and cars. Stefano offers a lot of options depending on how you want the car to perform. If you go to the dyno thread, on the last page, NicKey has posted a video about my build. Gives you a little insight on what they do.
Also in late September there is an event called Muscle Car Adventures held in the Wisconsin Dells. It’s a fun multi day driving event, there will be a variety of NicKey cars there. If you wanted to see first hand how reliable and fun they are to own. |
