CBRD tuned my Stock Turbo VIII
CBRD tuned my Stock Turbo VIII

This tune was done on CBRD's Mustang Dyno with no correction. The weather was cold (~35ºF) and dry. My mod list is in my signature. Chad did the tune.
I also wanted to say that my experience at CBRD was fantastic. Caleb and Chad were great, and the shop was incredibly clean. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
The previous owner of my car got it tuned somewhere else (I won't say where) and it was running very lean. It was also giving a knock count of ~10 at high RPM. As you can see, after evening out the A/F Chad turned up the boost (which is what I was looking for) and retuned it. On a street run afterwards, there were only a few sporadic 1 or 2 knock counts at WOT. Nothing consistent or worrisome. So I now have a safer, more powerful tune. Chad also improved my idle as it was a bit low and unruly at parking lot speeds. The car is much more smooth there now.
My plan is to leave the engine alone for a while and do some autocross this summer and figure out what mods to do next summer (Chad gave me a few recommendations after the tune). If I can manage to drive pretty well this summer maybe I'll talk myself into getting a BBK for next year!
nice gains over a previously "tuned" car 
was knocking 12-15 counts at 6500 and dropping Octane to 96%
no knock now, and more boost
we have been retuning and working on lots of cars from this other facility recently, glad we can get people on the right track.

Thanks for posting this up. You rarely ever see anyone post up bolt on VIII setups anymore. I wish CBRD was closer to me. I haven't seen one thing that would turn me away from them. Just curious if you don't mind saying, how much does a tune like this cost from them?
I don't think Chad will mind me saying since it is listed on the website; the tune is 385.00, which is competitive with the other few places I looked.
