Default Good Dyno Tune shop near Chicago?

Do any of you know a good dyno/tune shop in or near Chicago?

I have a K&N air charger and am about to put Borla axle-backs on and am thinking now that maybe a tune should be next on my list. (Someone on here said to beware that modding was addictive and never stops once you start spoke nothing but the truth!)

I was thinking of just sticking with the factory tune since I have the K&N AI and of course they say no tune needed, but now with the new Borla (not the stingers) axle-backs I'm thinking a little dyno tune might just be the next best thing for my baby ('06 satin silver convertible, auto, with all the interior upgrades, silver plenum cover, K&N AI, Borla axle-backs).

I would like to stick with either an 87 or 89 octane tune as I gave up my SUV to get away from premium fuel (and wisely went to a V8 'stang, hahaha!). How much of a boost do you all think I would get with a lower octane tune but with the mods I have? Also, how much should I expect to spend for a dyno tune like that?

Only question I can really offer an answer to is the 1st one. I have heard good things about www.suttonhp.com These guys are located in the south subs, in Matteson. Also they have a 9 second 05 GT!
Im not sure if you need to buy a handheld tuner from them in order to dyno. I havent priced that stuff out yet.
they are also a part of chicagoland mustang club. Forums here

my o6 vert is built and arriving in a few days at the dealer! Sessler Ford, in Libertyville, is doing a KB2.4L for me next week. They have done Roush and ProChargers also.
