Rotary Tuner in Chicago?
Did a search and didnt find any. I am thinking of getting an emanage and would like to have it tuned by a professional. Any shops close to Chicago that could do it?

Im thinking your regional forum might be a better place to post this.

A-Spec Tuning on Fullerton in downtown Chicago tunes rotarys. I've never been to them myself, but they apparently draw much support by the local rotary clubs.

They quoted me a price of $200 for a street tune with a Power FC. Sounds pretty good to me. Anyone have any other stuff I should consider?

Are they sure the Power FC will work on the 8? I thought that was mainly for the FD's...? Would be good to find out though... the price sounds good.

They said that they could do it, they specifically mentioned the Power FC, so I'm guessing that they can make it work. I checked out their website and they have done some pretty nice jobs on third gen RX-7's, which makes me feel good about going thru them and their experiance.

Keep us updated then... might be a nice alternative to CZ/eManage.

If you wait until Spring, hopefully there will be more options at that point ...

A-Spec isn't located in Chicago. They are on Fullerton Ave. but in Addison, IL. About 1 mile north of North Ave. I live about 2 miles from them. Also they are moving this spring. Check the Midwest forum at RX7Club.com for the information on the new location.

Oh, I thought they were just within city limits...that would explain why I never noticed them before.

hey A spec any approximate idea how much it would cost me to have a gauge hood fabricated for my dash and have the gauges installed and hooked up?
