Default Any Tune Shops Near Chicago?

I've had my 1999 GS4 for a while now, and was thinking of having a swap to 2JZ and adding turbo and all of that fun stuff. Is there a good performance shop that can tune and mod my lexus?

Probably your best bet with 2jz's is sound performance.

Doing all the stuff over the years I always had SP fix what other shops messed up or didn't do right. They know what they're doing. IF you can't afford them, do the swap yourself but have the wire harness with engine management and tuning by SP. Engine swap is relatively easy and SP won't butcher the electronics like most other shops do.

PS. Get a GS3, it's easier and more common parts.
