Anyone recommend a good Nissan tuner near or in Chicago or Indy. I'm from elkhart Indiana and there is no tuners around here that I know of

 

Sorry I do not live in Chicago. But the Chicago region members do.

Is something wrong with your vortech?

 

GRD and Sound Performance both do great work.

 

Larry at Sound Performance would be top choice

 

It looks like you are only about 250 miles from us... come on down! What are you looking to have tuned?

 

Thanks everyone for the replys! Im just looking for a good tune to reach my goal of 400whp. After I buy all my things like injectors, pully ect ect...Ill be ready for the tune. And no nothing is wrong with my vortech haha

 

I live in Indy and my first and only choice with a shop is Hal and Eddie at Dynosty for my twin turbo Nismo. I had it tuned over a year and 12k miles ago plus a clutch install and haven't had one single problem with the car. The shop is immaculate (which is crazy for how busy they are haha) and they are very trustworthy. I left my car with them for like a month or so over the winter and picked the car up in the spring without a single dent or scratch, which is always a big worry no matter where I take the car.

 

They sound like the place go, it's worth the drive

 

depends on if you want to make your goal. 400 on a dynodynamics (Dynosty) will be a lot tougher than 400 on a dynojet.

 

Why's that

 

Lol thats true the dyno dynamics can be a heart breaker but its all worth it when people are scratching their heads when they compare the dyno sheet to theirs and you keep beating them at say a certain airstrip event in North Carolina....

It's definitely worth the drive and i've made it quite a bit even with taking friends cars down there. Hal or someone will have to come on here and really explain the differences between the dyno jet and a dyno dynamics, but I know Hal can really fine tune the car a lot better with his dyno dynamics and they don't use a correction factor so it reads a fairly low number.

 

Lol well he sounds like a good tuner and it's looking I'm gonna take the drive there. What do you think 400whp on a regular dyno would look like on his?

 

I'd speculate about 350ish rwhp. You should definitely take it to the drag strip afterwards and compare numbers to the supercharged list in the top drag times section on here and see what those guys say they put down on the dyno. I put down 454rwhp at Dynosty and the best trap I ever did at the drag strip was 12.2sec @ 123mph but i'm twin turboed : )

 

^ I hope you're only comparing your trap speed and not comparing your ET with frequent/experienced drag racers.



At any rate, I'm not sure if the OP has decided or not, but Sound Performance, GRD Performance, AMS Performance, and TH Motorsports are 4 well known shops that come to mind around the Chicago area. There are other lesser known shops who can also install/tune, but I don't believe they're licensed, certified, or experienced enough.

 

Haha ya iv got a lot of choices. I wanna run 12's for now but i guess I'll see
