I just got my car back from CBRD and I am very impressed with the level of customer service and how they literally improved every aspect of my car's driving characteristics. It came in to CBRD with all bolt-ons on stock turbo running a 93 octane tune from another big name shop. This tune made 335 wtq and only 260 whp on chad's mustang dyno as the tune was a bit sloppy with controlling boost and fell on its face super hard.

I wanted him to make a safe street tune with the occasional trip to the track in mind. With that being said, the car ended up with 310 wtq and 398 whp on 93 octane on a 80 degree day with 40 % humidity on only 24.5 lbs of boost. Torque is literally flat as a table and the car drives soooo much better on part throttle. This is especailly noticable in 5th gear below 70mph as the bucking and BOV flutter is completely gone. Mods list is below. Dyno sheet to follow. Car hits full boost (24.5 psi) by 3400 rpms.

Power:

CBRD BBX Lite (ball bearing)
GSC S1 cams
Stock block
ID 1000cc injectors
ETS Recirc DP and Test pipe
Cobb cat back
ETS intake
3 port
ETS 3.5 inch intercooler with UICP and LICP

Handling:

Ohlins Road and Track
Braille 6 pound lithium battery
G force Rival rubber

 

The torque would probably jump back to 330-340 wtq if you went with 26 psi boost, seems like the peak whp numbers are quite good though! Looking forward to checking out that dyno sheet, sounds like the old tune was a recipe for disaster.

 

Yes, definitely feels much safer and smoother now. Will be going back in about 6 months to add a tubular exhaust mani (wanted to do it at same time to save on labor costs but build time was too long on the mani for my schedule). Might have him turn the boost up to 25.5 when i go back, but the smooth acceleration that doesn't die off feels great for now and I find myself revving it out so much more.
