Can't count how many times I've been to Chicago this year alone. Was there last weekend actually

It's my understanding that you can't use someone elses Hypertech to fix your speedo. Each Hypertech gets "married" to a single car. You could buy one from someone but make sure they reload their stock flash (divorce it ) otherwise it'll be useless to you.

If you have a '94 or '95 I could fix it for you. I can also put you in contact with someone who lives downtown Chicago that could do it for you.

I dont know if you realize, but two f-body big shops Speed Inc. and Finish Line Performance are based in IL. Speed Inc. is in Schaumburg and Finish Line is in Naperville. Plus, one of this boards big tuner, MadZ28, is right in Dekalb so any of these three places can take care of your speedo adjustment for a small fee.

That all costs money though

I would definitely recommend Ion though! I'm not going to comment on Speed Inc. :blah:

I like that Speed Inc. is close to home and I can pick up last minute items from there. However, there customer service can use some work. Maybe if I had an LS1/LS6 I would get treated better.
