Tuning LAP w/ catback and CAI

Does anyone know of a local trifecta tuner in the Chicagoland area? I wanna tune my LAP with my borla catback and injen cai. Ive come to my senses and Im not going to turbo the car anymore, lol. At least not for awhile. So I want the car to run as fast as possible with my mods. Any help would be great.

PS. I do not have vtec kick in my ecotec....BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA

critical info for u men

get a 2.4TBody or LSJ cause the one i ve reflashed had intake restriction. the data from his map sensor was falling off. then get exhaust.

2.2 LAP- 2.4 intake- 2.2 tbody = no very good
you will get more juice with a bigger Tbody.

compare to a fully 2.2 l61 with 2.4 TB and intake

the 07-09 LE5 manifold is the same as the LAP but if u get the 05-06 manifold (i believe) then you can squeeze a couply horses out for 150 bucks. just a thought...

Definitley. And you wont need the 2.4 mani because the 2.2 LAP has the same size one as the 2.4

There is a reason everyone is saying get a dp and header before tune. exhaust hardly net much of a gain until they are complete. until then you still have the bottlenecks in it. spending 400 on a combo will net more gain then 250+ on then the tune because you already have the catback exhaust. your cat converter is a big bottelneck.

figure 250 for tune will be like 5 hp
400 be 15ish with the exhaust, it's synergy your going for.

after you get your dp and header, getting you tune will net also a bigger gain like say 10.

this is just reletive figures but do the math you will see more for you buck this way.

also you can locate dealers in chicago by checking trifectas site like huckerage was saying
