I took my tired 5.0 to BRG and got 300 RWHP & 340 RWTQ. Rebuilt the same car to 331 Stroker took car back to BGR and got 320 RWHP & 440 RWTQ.

After talking to BGR I learned their good with motorcycles and not cars. I found a different DYNO Shop in Hayward who had re-done several BGR Tunes. With the new tune done in Hayward my car DYNO'd @ 420 RWHP & 480 RWTQ @ half the cost of BGR.

Be careful with these so called DYNO TUNES. Read a lot and ask a lot of questions about the DYNO, fuel mapping, calibrations, injector loads, and the technician's qualifications.

Where is BGR located? I think I've heard of them..but from what I know they make aftermarket motorcycle parts [Confused]

I'm glad you found another shop in Hayward taht worked out for you....was it Rick at Gearhead/Rob's Machine shop?

Hey Muvybuff, What Dyno does the shop in Hayward use? Where there any other indications other then good numbers that upset you about BRG? They use a Mustang dyno, very different from a dynojet. The mustang dyno will read lower.

You made good numbers either way. what is your setup?

Movin' this to General Talk.


Also, coming on a forum without any info other than "they can't tune" is pretty pointless.
