Congratulations to Justin Schmidt!

Tapout would like to congratulate Justin Schmidt for setting a new personal best time at Cecil County Dragway last night! Justin ran 11.070 @ 126.99 mph in his 2016 ATS-V sedan M6 with a full race weight of 3,970 pounds. His only modifications include octane booster, drag radials and a Tapout Remote Tune.

Justin’s car is a true daily driver. He does no weight reductions whatsoever and doesn’t change tires at the track. Rumor has it there was even a case of beer in his trunk, but this has not been confirmed. Justin’s new time moves him up to the number one spot in the Modified category. This is one of the huge perks of a Tapout Remote Tune, you can drive your ATS-V to the track, set a new personal best record, then drive it home! Tapout Tuned ATS-Vs now hold four of the top five spots in this category, and we’re just getting started.

Tapout Tune of the Week!

Spring is on its way and we’re more than ready to get back to the track. Tapout has big plans for this year and it’s going to be a very exciting summer! While we wait for the last of the snow to melt, we’re going to take a look at one of this week’s Remote Tunes that we completed for E.J. in Ohio.

E.J. had been driving his ATS-V stock since he purchased it but knew it could use something more to wake it up. After reading through several ATS-V pages and hearing from other drivers, he found that Tapout Tuning offered the best balance of custom performance and reliability. We were happy to work with E.J. through the whole process because it allowed us to create the perfect custom tune for him. “I feel like I have a teammate who cares about helping my car perform better and better every day. It’s not just a one and done tune; it’s a constant work in progress to maximize my car’s abilities” he said. That’s exactly what we strive for, because as we develop improved tuning methods and more parts become available in the aftermarket, we will be there every step of the way so your ATS-V is always a top performer.

Tapout Tune of the Week!

As a tuning company we try to differentiate ourselves from the competition by providing a service that not only meets your needs, but exceeds them. We want to make sure we create a custom tune just for your individual ATS-V that suits your driving preferences. Through this process we make sure you are involved every step of the way so you understand why we are making certain changes and the effects they will have on your ATS-V.

One of this week’s Remote Tune customers was Josh from Washington, who was won over after seeing Tapout provide help to so many ATS-V owners in various places online. “The fact that he would do this for people who aren’t customers or who have tunes from different tuners gained my respect” Josh said. And that’s what its all about, helping the community get better together. The ATS-V is an incredible vehicle with much untapped potential and we’re here to help you take yours to that next level!

Tapout Tune of the Week!

One of the most important features of our Remote Tunes at Tapout is that we always keep your engine safe. It would be easy to ignore certain safety parameters set by GM so that we could tune your car easier and quicker, but that’s not how we operate here. We take our time to ensure every safety check is still in place once we complete your remote tune. While a Tapout Tune will produce substantially more power than your ATS-V had stock, all the safety precautions are still in place. They will continue to function keeping your engine safe at all times, no matter how hard you push it.

This was something that interested one of this week’s customers, John from Georgia. He originally had his ATS-V tuned by anther prominent tuner but found that they had ignored these safety parameters and put his engine at risk. He then tried another prominent tuner, and while they were able to provide some improvements to the tune, it still wasn’t what John was looking was looking for. That’s when he came across Tapout Tuning and was able to breathe a sigh of relief. He knew his horsepower prayers had been answered. “Now my car is an absolute monster. I found Scott to be detailed, friendly and he absolutely loves doing this.” And that’s true, there’s nothing we love more at Tapout than making your ATS-V the best it can be!

The Perfect Tune for Your ATS-V!

When it comes to tuning your ATS-V, Tapout wants to make sure you have all the right resources to begin the tuning process. We offer several different options depending on your preference and current ATS-V setup.

If you are starting from a stock ATS-V, and don’t already own HP Tuners, start with our Remote Tune Plus. This gets you everything you need for remote tuning services. We review the scan data from your stock tune to ensure your intercooler and fuel system are functioning correctly. Next, we add all Tapout tune edits, custom tailored for your modifications and fuel octane.

We then have you scan you car at various levels, verifying everything is nice, solid and safe. From there we review the scan data and continue making small edits until you love every aspect of your tune and we love every aspect of the data logs. This typically takes one to three edits; however, we will do as many updates as it takes to dial your tune in perfectly. If you’d like to go a step further, you can purchase one of our popular monthly tuning subscriptions which many customers use for wideband tuning, race fuel tuning and when they install additional mods. It’s the best way to ensure your ATS-V continues to perform at its full potential.
