Often times it’s nice to reflect on where we came from and how far we have traveled. Progress and success comes through experience, and we are certainly no strangers to the drag strip. Today we’re turning back the clock 30 years to the summer of 1988 at Marion County International Raceway. This was Scott Cook with his 1987 Trans Am GTA, which came from the factory with a whopping 215 horsepower. It ran 14.53 in the quarter mile with some mild modifications, and 13.53 with a wet nitrous kit. Photos like these remind us why we do what we do. Passion for cars and performance is something that never leaves us, and is a driving force that keeps us going, even three decades later.

Having the best of both worlds is phrase commonly used but rarely executed. At Tapout Tuning we strive to make this saying a reality by producing huge power gains while also retaining your ATS-V’s drivability. Sounds too good to be true, right? Luckily for you it’s not, as we are experts in LF4 performance calibration and have created the ideal tune for your individual application allowing you to get the most out of your ATS-V. We are passionate about the work we do which is why we test our tunes on our own ATS-V, ensuring only the best of the best is available to you.

NGK Iridium Spark Plugs Now Available for Immediate Shipment
Most ATS-V owners who have their cars tuned for higher boost run colder spark plugs. This a good idea because it helps reduce pre-detonation and the ECM’s knock retard response, which reduce ignition timing advance and horsepower. We recommend and stock NGK 6510 iridium plugs, and now have these in stock for immediate shipment. Stock ATS-V plug gap is .030 to .035″. With increased boost you’ll want to gap these at .027″ for maximum performance. Contact us today to make sure you have the proper spark plugs for the best performance on and off the track!
