Default Flashpro Tuning in Chicagoland

Does anyone have recommendation for a proven Flashpro tuner in the area? Dyno tune is a must.

Thanks!

Mikey at Profunction Automotive is one of the best. Plus he is very reasonable with tuning rates. Highly recommend this shop.

I say iLL Garage, Mikey use to be good back when he was Factory Five. iLL Garage builds and tune drag and Honda challenge cars, etc. Mando is probably the best tuning in the Midwest many cars went from King and Pro to iLL

Well it's nice to have options. A statement like Mikey used to be good back in the day is total BS. He did a pump gas tune and E85 tune on my S that took the better part of 8hrs. He took his time, worked through issues and charged me one flat rate which was very fair.

Again, maybe this new shop is good. I personally never heard of them.

+1 for Mickey, he fixed an issue that someone previously messed up on my car and others as well. I have been tuned by him 3 times and every tune has been fantastic. I wouldn't trust anyone else. He specializes in Hondas, and has tuned many track cars that have performed really well. Once I get some more parts together I will be going back to him again for another tune. To say his prices are fair is an understatement, for the amount of work he is willing to put in, for the price is crazy. I have been there for 8 hours, fixing issues and running to get missing parts, and charged me the flat rate as well. I'm sure other tuners are great, but with my personal experience with Mickey, I have no reason to go to anyone else.

I concur with Daryl and Jesus. ProFunction is the only shop that did work on my AP1, apart from myself. Mikey is one of the most up-front, honest tuners you will meet in the area.

Not disparaging ProFunction or anything here; this is strictly regarding Ill Garage.

Ill Garage has been around many years; they've been building and tuning Hondas for a long time; Armando has been Honda building and tuning since the mid 90s. He knows his stuff! They aren't the new, around the corner shop by ANY means.
