Made my appointment with Chad @ CBRD to get tuned. I've heard lots of good things about him, and my conversation with him over the phone made me feel like he definately knows what he's doing, and takes every measure to make sure the car is in peak condition before tuning. He explained how he pressure tests every car to check for any leaks, as well as explaining the boost solenoid swap and checking the throttle body seals. I'm very excited to see what he can do with my car, and i'm sure i'll be a long time customer.

Any estimates on numbers?

Thanks for the kind words-

we will definetly take care of your evo

Cool, have fun... numbers will be hard to estimate as Chad's dyno is a heartbreaker. Don't be disappointed by peak numbers lower than what you expect. If anything your car will pull a lot harder than most cars with higher peak numbers.

^^ don't get worry about the #'s. You'll be taken care of. Just enjoy the ride home.

Yeah, i'm not too worried about the final peak numbers, just trying to gauge what I could expect out of it. Just for safe measures, i'm going to replace the DV with the synapse unit, as well as check for leaks with the smoker machine at a friend's shop.

Props for Chad every time I read a post from a customer @ CBRD they are happy. pressure testing for leak that's a good sing for sure.... Keep us up date on your tune.

youd probably be around 240 to 250 whp on his dyno

it should be closer to 300whp if his evo is healthy..

your in good hands with Chad!

Y do u guys say this does their dyno read lower?

I made 297hp on CBRD's dyno 2 months ago and I have a more power mods than the OP. Remember, it's also mid-august in Pennsylvania. The heat and humidity are going to effect numbers. Plus, if the OP is on the stock intercooler, it is going to heatsoak quickly in this weather.

The CBRD dyno, along with STM's and Buschur's and others are Mustang Dynos. Mustang Dynos will often times read 10-12% lower than DynoJet dynamometers.

So u might make 300hp on a mustang but true number is like 325? Something like that. And what is heatsoak ans how do u know if it happens

touch your UICP, if its pretty warm, your heatsoaking the intercooler

as far as the numbers, they are just numbers. my car made like 487whp on CBRD's dyno, on a dyno jet it made over 545whp.... no changes except the dyno it was on(temperature was actually warmer by like 10 degrees on the dyno jet). numbers dont mean anything. dynos are just a tunning tool.

the OP is in good hands and your car will feel like a completely different car when it comes off the dyno. enjoy it man

The more accurate number would actually be the 300hp on the Mustang dyno. A Mustang Dyno is much more of a "real world" number for how much power the car is actually putting down to the ground.



Think about when you heat a pan on the stove - - once it gets warm, it stays warm for a while, even if heat is not applied to it anymore. It takes it a while to cool down. Your intercooler works the same way. The turbo is blowing hot air into the intercooler and associated pipes. The stock intercooler is not especially efficient, so even though it's purpose is to cool the air charge, the metal of the intercooler will still heat up. Eventually, (and much sooner with the stock intercooler) the intercooler will be hot to the touch and will essentially be "warming" the air that is passing through it. This is referred to as heatsoak.
