You mean Kushan?

unless that was a pun because he recently crashed his motorcycle (he's ok). I know a couple people that go to him and like his work, but I have heard complaints of his timeliness a few times now. I have no experience there.

He tuned a friends 650 wheel STS turbo Camaro and that thing ran great. I met him out there about a year ago and have not talked to him since. I didn't know he was hurt.

He just seemed like a cool guy and he had a really nice shop

We've had a few cars in our shop that had been previously tuned by him years later and everything looked pretty inline.



George is a good friend of mine. He tuned my Trans Am a few months ago & Im very happy with it. He still does tunes for people but he is been busy with his job & family.

I know its already been said but Greg at RET in Downey (562 622-2508) does great tuning, I had him tune my camaro and he got almost 400 to the wheels(ls6 intake and cam, long tubes and a lid) and it runs and drives great.

George is a great guy, and I'm sure he's more experienced now than when I last saw him.

All other things considered, I would not use anyone else but CMS. Ryne and Mike are two of the most technically proficient guys around, and the results out of CMS's shop speak for themselves.
