Good tuning shop in the midwest?

Ok I need to know a good place to take my car to help me tune everything! I have the apexi avc-r and the apexi afc also alot of other mods under the hood so I would like to take it somewhere to get it tuned properly but I dont know where to take it.
So if anyone has any ideas please post away!!!!

I live in Kalamazoo for 7 years and had all work on my first new 90 GTU done at Halli's Auto Care in Kzoo. Halli is known throught Kzoo as the expert on RX7's.

Absolutely fantasting knowledge of the car. Pricing very reasonable. Its a small shop with him and one to two others. Not uncommon to drive in and find 2-3 RX7's in line for service. BTW, he is the only person I have ever met from Iceland!

Halli's Auto Care is on West Main about 2 miles west of the 131 exit. I can not vouch safe his skill on heavily moded RX7's cuz mine was pure and not moded. A call won't hurt (sorry I lost the phone number). He is honest and if he can't do what you need he will tell you staright out.

Good luck... Jerry

What is your experience?

You are closer than the next closest place i know of (sevenspeed)

I am about 2 - 2.5 hours from Detroit, so its probably less than 2 hours to you from here

Email me chrissanders@netzero.com and we can work out a time and you need to tell me what you want done. Sat the 20th is out, a friend of mine is letting me take my FD out on the MIS track to do some high speed runs
