Kushan is the owner... seems to know his ****. And is very detail oriented. But he charges a butt load of money. Way overpriced...

x2, good work, good guy, but to much $$$$, he is known in the Vette world, and they swear by him and a few other guys. Try Ryne at CMS if you are looking for a good guy, great tuner, and local for some of us.

I've had very good experiences with Kushan he built my motor, tuned my new setup and balanced my suspension among other things. As far as the comments above some people complain about his prices but I've never had a problem with his prices you get what you pay for.

that's where most of us here have gotten work done... They do really good work, and in the rare case that something doesn't go right Ryne always makes it right and backs up anything his shop does so...

I'm sorry to hear that your friend did not get what he paid for but I know for a fact that Kushan would not let a car go out of his shop half assed. I can only speak from my experience from Kushan which has been very positive

I have spent thousandssssss of dollars at Excelsior over the last four years and have always gotten top notch work and service, The only time I was not satisfied is when he had someone else work on my car and I paid top dollar for so so work. If Kushan is working on it or tunning it, you can rest assured it will be right.. In fact, when I got my Hawk back from Overkill after the cam change and the car caught on fire, Kushan dealt with my Ins. company and put the car back to better than new condition. Just my .02 and experience.
