Rx7 tuner on the West side of MI?

Please don't move this thread....I posted it in the forum deigned for your area and no one responded...so I'm desperate here. While I have a 95 R2 and 89 TII, and my buddy Josh has his 89 TII....we have no place in this area to take them to have them tuned. I know a mechanic that went to school for nothing but 7's and I take my cars there when I get stuck, but he is in no ways a tuner. He can fix a problem, but not tune the car to the specifics. Josh and I were talking about it last night and decided to ask forum for help. Does anyone know of a place on the west side of Michigan that tunes 7's well? Please? We are both modified and in need of tuning to specifics.

See, that makes four guys on this side of the state that need a tuner....LOL. Maybe I'll have to open up my own shop....LOL. Have you been to Rogers Plaza for the racing scene out there in GR. If so, how is it. I've been thinking about going with my 7.

I heard that the race scene in GR is awsome. I can't believe that you haven't heard of that.
