Default Good Mod/upgrade shops in Chicago area?

I'm planning for the future. I don't own the Z yet, however I will mod it once I get it. Anyone know of any good shops around the Chicago area that do good work? FI, suspension, brakes, etc.

Thanks!

take it to phunk (charles) at cjmotorsports. he is one of, if not the best Z tuners and builders in the US right now..... as for some things like brakes, and minor mods most of us could help ya out. i have done full engine swaps and tranny swaps in 1 car garages before, but i still don't know about installing a full FI system on a z myself....... so i would probably take it to him just to be safe.

Thanks dude!

I used to work in Woodstock, Other World Computing. Nice area. Had to quit because I couldn't handle the commute all the way from Cicero.

eh, personally i think the "stock" sucks. and the damn women are horrible..... all about the fat unsuccessful dirtballs. hell, i grew up in crystal lake and it was better than that..... but even ames IA, and colorado springs were hella good.. compared to woodstock. oh well. still glad i moved back

i work in loves park, and my roomate in Crystal lake.. so woodstock was really the only place in between. i might be moving to somewhere along randall road around I90 this summer.

that is a long commute from cicero though, damn.

Charles is on the board as one of sponsors, he will hook you up
