Tapout Tune of the Week!

Like so many of our customers, John from Texas loves his ATS-V but felt it wasn’t quite living up to its potential. John came to us to see if we could remedy the situation, and we had the perfect solution to unleash the full potential of the ATS-V, a Remote Tapout Tune!

Aside from AFE intake filters, John’s ATS-V was completely stock. He knew the filters had provided additional power, but it certainly wasn’t enough. We completed a preliminary scan of John’s car to see the current state of the engine and found that even though the AFE filters had helped him pick up power, the car was actually running too lean and was dealing with knock retard as well.

We recommended installing the stock filters, so we could see how the car would perform after its first initial tune. After checking the scans completed on John’s car we were able to determine the best course for tuning his car remotely. John is now running a set of NGK spark plugs and is making significantly more power than stock or with the AFE filters, all while keeping the drivability of the car intact. We want to ensure that no matter how much additional power we can bring out of your ATS-V, you can still drive it anywhere, anytime and any distance. These cars were meant to be driven to their limit, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be comfortable when they’re not.

On a side note, we’re curious what John is working on with that engine block in the corner of his picture.

Tapout Tune of the Week!

Tim from Minnesota drives a 2016 ATS-V M6 sedan and was looking to have a little more fun while on the road. And of course we know that more power equals more fun, so we were happy to work remotely with him to make that happen.

He had previously worked with two well-known ATS-V tuners but after months of repeated attempts they both “tapped out” and were unable to successfully tune this car. Never one to back down from a challenge we started the process by taking into consideration the various aftermarket modifications Tim had made. After he provided scans of his car, we were able to start the tuning process.

We went through several iteration of the tune, each time progressing toward the perfect calibration for Tim’s car. We made sure to remain in contact with him during the entire process, so we could receive his feedback and explain the changes we were making. This is something we have found customers really appreciate. “Scott was always extremely helpful and patient, taking the time to answer my questions and provide screen shots to show what he was saying/doing” Tim stated.

We make it our goal to provide the best customer experience possible, because when you’re happy, we’re happy. We love getting more power out of your ATS-V’s and working with great customers like Tim make our job even better.

Safe and Effective Remote Tuning with Tapout!

In addition to being experts in local dyno tuning, Tapout also specialized in remote tunes for the Cadillac ATS-V LF4 engine. We take great care in providing the best remote tunes possible by maintaining constant communication throughout the entire process and explaining each change we make.

Our initial conversation starts by learning everything about your car, your goals and what steps we need to take to accomplish those goals. This was reassuring to one of our latest Remote Tune customers, Josh from Washington. He had bad experiences in the past, but those memories were quickly put to rest after he began working with us. “The service here was far above anything I have had in the past” Josh said. And that’s our number one goal, to provide the best experiences possible, while also adding huge amounts of power to your ATS-V. It’s the best of both worlds, and at Tapout Tuning you are always going to get the absolute best!

Check out Josh’s ATS-V below.

New Wheels and Tires for our ATS-V!

Check out the new wheels and tires on our 2018 ATS-V. We love the stock rims, but we wanted wheels and tires for every occasion! This beauty is covered for winter driving with our all-season Continental Extreme Contacts mounted on our stock 18″ rims. For the drag strip we run Mickey Thompson drag radials in the rear, and what you see below is a staggered set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S’s. These are mounted on our custom 19 x 11″ CCW CL565 wheels with P305/30ZR19 in the rear and P275/30ZR19 on 19 x 9.5″ rims up front.

This new wheel and tire combination is perfect for straightening the curves on a back road or even just highway cruising (with a few hard pulls thrown in of course). Plus with the superior grip of summer treads and the added size of the tires and wheels, this ATS-V is going to hug the road like it’s on rails!

Tapout Tune of the Week!

Today we are taking a look at a Remote Tune we completed for Jorge in Florida.  He has a 2016 ATS-V and just like Maverick, he was feeling the need, the need for speed! Jorge was the winner of our Facebook contest and received  a complimentary Remote Tune, so we were ready to help him achieve his goals! Our Remote Tune can be completed no matter where you are in the world. We’ve completed Remote Tunes as far away as Israel or as close as the next state over.

Jorge’s ATS-V was completely stock, so he was excited to make some huge power gains. As with every remote tune, we begin with a safe starting point calibration, then work from there using scan date to get everything dialed in perfectly for your car. As Jorge uploads each new tune to his car, we are able to fine tune each specific table within the scan until we have the ideal tune. He was happy to let us know, “I can’t thank Tapout Tuning enough for spending so many hours to look over and re-tune each revision within an hour of sending logs.” We know that the quicker we can work to complete your tune, the quicker you can be putting your ATS-V to the test!

We also want to congratulate Jorge on running 11.834 @117.10 mph his very first outing with the car. His ATS-V is completely stock, including the tires, and he was running 93-octane fuel. Density altitude was 1,869′ and his only modification was his Tapout Tune. Way to go Jorge!
