Tuner in Indiana (near Indianapolis) area?

Just like the title said, anyone knows any good tuner in INDIANA (preferably near Indianapolis) ?
I'm thinking about going FI thus locating good tuner would be my next step.
I saw white 350z in mueller performance like 2 months ago but i dunno how it goes....
Any suggestion would be appreciated

Best bet is GRD in Naperville, IL. They get tons of cars that ppl send to them from across the country as well as from Canada...

I'm looking within 1.5 hrs drive within my area ... 3 hrs ONE-WAY drive 'just' to drop off my car is just too far for me .. but ill definately consider them. Thanks

^ Yeah, for sure it sucks...but sometimes it's worth sending the car to a reputable shop such as GRD.... I've also searched for some places in Indiana for a buddy, couldnt find any places with a good rep. I would also be kinda pissed if I had to go 3 hours just to get my car tuned, but the piece of mind would be worth it!

You could try Kenny Brown in Speedway. His website shows a turbocharged G and my Infiniti Service rep says Kenny Brown has tuned a lot of 350Zs. I do not have any personal experience with Kenny Brown's shop, however Motor Trend did a write up on a modified Mercury Marauder a couple of years ago that was complimentary of Kenny Brown's work.

Can you provide me with his website? Thanks.

PS: I just remember I tried to visit his shop like 6-7 months ago but he had already moved/closed... his prev shop had already changed owner (was mustang tuner when I visited)...just looked at his website and it seems that he's still sick even though he's slowly recoverin...

I drove 4 1/2 hours to get GRD for the install. Get it done right the first time. Just don't go over 380whp on stock internals.

they did a interview with him in the indiana business journal a few years ago and he specifically stated "I wont put a supercharger on a car without upgrading the suspension"

Yeah I thought Kenny wrecked last year while racing. Maybe I'm confusing him with another tuner.

you are probably thinking of John Lingenfelter who wrecked racing and died like 3 years ago. Also a good Indiana tuner
