Anyone in Illinois (preferably central Illinois) know a good place to get a tune or does tuning themselves? No real preference for uprev vs ecutek. I'm more focused on a good quality tune by someone that'll stand by there work, and for a good price. Thanks

I'm in the Aurora area of Illinois and I've come to the conclusion an ECUtek E-Tune would probably be best. I don't see a lot of guys handling Z's regularly around here. so I would hesitate to give someone the car that isn't fully familiar with them or knows how to work them exclusively.

Features are a hook by themselves and the response on the forum I see is fantastic

Please DO investigate your tuner before signing up.

Tuners... are erm, difficult to get ahold of.

Especially this week with SEMA.

You should have a preference for ECUTEK... just for reference.
There are tuners who specialize in remote tuning ECUTEK.
- That way you don't have to drive anywhere or worry about finding a dyno.

Have a good working relationship with your tuner BEFORE you send money in.

That being said, Msg for details.

I'm in the same boat, trying to find a tuner in illinois with experience that can work with ecutek. Not gonna need it for about a year or so, but need to have a plan and maybe get to know somebody. Some of the searching I've done produced a shop called P&L Motorsports in Lisle IL, and they use an outside tuner "JRTuned". Also, I heard of a guy "drewtuned" through FB who is out of West chicago I believe. This guy Drew apparently has worked with Z's and uprev, not sure about ecutek. I haven't contacted anybody yet about tuning, I'm just in the research phase for locations of local tuners. Anyone heard of them?

Get in touch with Phunk (Cjmotorsports). They are becoming a Ecutek dealer. They could probably set up a Duno day for all you guys. They just opened a new shop and will be offering full service soon. Chicago needs some Z love!

CJMotorsports & AMS in St Charles can tune the 370z, called them both a few days ago as I may be wanting my tune earlier than I thought and both have confirmed

Also in the Chicago area and considering a tune, I reached out to an AMS and here is the reply from yesterday:

I am sorry sir we do not tune that platform.

Eric Gaudi
Director of Sales
AMS / ALPHA performance
1760 Metoyer Ct
West Chicago, IL 60185


Is there another we should be looking at? I did message phunk (CJMotorsports?) also and will share response.

OK, got a positive response from phunk regarding CJ Motorsports!:



We will be offering ECUTEK tuning services very shortly. We have been testing and tuning the software on one our 370z and working on our base maps and putting miles on the car to make sure we put out a quality product.

The software license will be offered at $315, and the tuning sessions we are planning to offer for around $300 for naturally aspirated vehicles.

I would expect that we will start scheduling tuning for customers in August.

Thanks
Charles

Yeah I contacted cjmotorsports back in early June and received the same kind of response, they're getting all the base maps ironed out. It's great we'll finally get someone more "local", and if they're gonna be ready within the next month I'll be one of first in line. Can't wait!

My buddy and I are in the Peoria area and we're going to Dynosty in Louisville Kentucky. He's Going with Ecutek. Research is key, and everything I found was great in regards to Dynostys work. Traveling is a small price to pay for quality work.
