That's what I thought you meant....

I'm sure a quick search of CBRD will reveal a few pleasant customer testimonies.. we try our best.

And now back to your regularly scheduled programming...



Me, I'd take my car to Buschur.

Who is a better Tuner between the 2 (Nick or Charlie)
Do they run agressive timing in their tunes...i would like to know what AFR do they normally set their tunes at.......

You know when after your car has been flashed the power is more linear..that the sudden boost that comes on...i miss that...I wish they could flash/tune the cars with retaining that 'feel' of sudden boost coming on.

BTW, CBRD's tunes are done by Chad....

Charlie/Kreionic does tuning here, but rents/uses the dyno. That and he makes some slammin' deserts! Woot!

Like Caleb said CHAD does all the tuning for CBRD. And is very very good at it. IMO he is one of the best on the east coast. Chad is the owner/tuner of the place. Chad is a good friend of mine and lets me use the dyno for my customers. But this thread can end since Vindi already has made his mind up

But if your curious about Chads style PM Chad and I would assume if you like to know Nicks style you get intouch with him

Never delt with DTM so I can't comment on their service/tuning.

Had Charlie tune my car and its sooo much nicer now. Upped the boost, and got rid of all the knock. Pulls much harder on the top end...thanks again Charlie!

As far as the shape of the curves and so forth, this is the way my dyno looks from a reflash a couple weeks ago. I have an VIII with a white rabbit VIII turbo. It was 92F and these pulls were done at 20, 22, and 24 psi (Zeitronix/AEM MAP sensor):

Chad is very good at what he does. If i didnt do my own car. He is 1 of 2 people i would ever let touch my car with a stock ecu. Chad really knows his stuff.
CBRD ftw

Rich, I never got the chance to check out your results that day. I fell asleep in the chair and when I woke up you were gone . Results look solid! Glad I was able to chat with you. Helped the time go by. Nice vid.


I've been tuned by: Extreme, Turbotrix, Mike @ Atlantic, ISP, and DTM. I'm very excited to get tuned on CBRD's dyno next. I'm an equal opportunity kind of guy. Or an idiot who spends too much money...

Well I guess since we are on the topic of price from the first page here is a list of pricing for 2008:

Complete remapping of the stock ecu is $300-350 Lifetime. Depending on the mods. Retunes are free unless I have to spend over an hour on the dyno for a new setup. The price is $100.
AEM Tunes are $500 Lifetime.

Dyno rental is $75/hr for both FWD or AWD. Doesn't matter.
