Default Excelsior motorsports....!!!

hey guys... i just got done dyno tuning my Z06 over at EXCELSIOR motorsports and all i have to say is THANKS for the guys who recommended his shop. i have had some tuner friends in the past that have gotten out of it and it was GREAT to find someone as cool and smart as KUSHAN. he is a great guy with a great little shop..... i will NEVER look for another tuner.
as well as most of his clients.... he is a PRO at fixing other peoples tunes.... he really takes his time and have a GREAT dyno set-up ! its an austrailian made dyno and is SUPER accurate..... which will make your car seem down on power.... which is hard on the ego, but great for the tunning.... his program is windows based and it is super easy to understand and watch him work.... he recently tuned a car from A&A.... that JUST put down 600rwhp
on there dyno..... then dynoed 525 on his. and kushan say many flaws in the tune.... so he tweaked it a massaged it and picked up another 50rwhp!!!!!!
on a car that justed got tuned by charlie!....i cant say enough about his shop.
my car had some issues leaning WAY out and pulling 9deg out of KR....and he fixed it all up in like 2 hrs. i gained 15-20rwtq from 2000-500rpm and more after that....... and 10-15rwhp from 2000-4500rpm and gained like 40rwhp where it was dipping around 5500rpm..... the car feals MUCH smoother and has a good power increase ALL across the powerband! not just peak.

i dynoed 340rwhp 351rwtq @ the dyno shop...
i baselined about 320rwhp 322rwtq
and after tuning 343rwhp 340rwtq

great gains at a fair price. i recommend him to EVERYONE !!!! go check him out and tell him GABE sent you..... (858)565-8000 he is in kearny mesa area.

in SAN DIEGO..... ( off clairmont mesa blvd )

he is worth talking to... and has some great cars in his shop to look at.
he is a true GM guy and has had it all on his Z06.... from a 200 shot, to TT, to a stroker, and now a forged 347 with a 300 shot!

i am confident in his tuning abilitys... and am trying to spred the word.... that there is a GREAT tuner now in SD !

Gabe,

Glad it all worked out for you. Those are some VERY impressive numbers for his dyno. Your Z06 is stock except for full exhaust, right?

I have known Kushan for about 8 months and have visited his shop many times. As a matter of fact, I have one of his custom pnuematic nitrous systems on my SS (very nice set-up). He DEFINITELY knows what he is doing and I will not go to any other shop.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Brian

Default Great to hear!!!

I am very glad that everyone is satisfied with the work that Kushan has done for them. I would have not recommended him had I thought he could not deliver.



Looks like everyone is having fun with his work. Looks like I am next.

Alot depends on your setup and how much tunning is necessary. You should just give him a call and let him know what you have done.

i agree....

im sure the prices are similar to many others with 250K worth of equiptment.

basic- $500
bolt-ons- $600-700
FI - $1000+

these are an IDEA of what he MIGHT charge... it all depends....

give him a call, and he will figure it out.
