Tapout Tuning offers custom dyno tunes in central Ohio and remote tunes for the rest of the world. Today we will take a closer look at a remote tune that we performed for Alex in Arizona. He previously had two different competitive tunes and didn’t like either one.

A Tapout engine and transmission tune was completed via email, a convenient option we offer to all our customers. We put great focus on being accommodating to our customers and meeting all their needs. As Alex stated, “Tapout Tuning stands apart from other tuners by providing a consultative, transparent approach to the calibration that is customized to the customer’s needs”. When working with us Alex noted, “My goals were optimization, safety, longevity and a wide, flat powerband. I got all of those things, along with a boost in fuel economy by way of Tapout’s protocols for optimizing efficiency of the LF4”. We not only significantly increased the power of Alex’s ATS-V, we also improved his fuel economy, all without sacrificing drivability.

 

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.

Tapout Tuning is happy to announce we are now offering high quality vinyl stickers. The same great logo you see online can now be put on your car, your toolbox and anywhere you can think of! The size of the sticker is 6 ¼” by 1 ½”  and the white background you see is just the backing paper, so when applied, the color of your car shows through! Just as we put great care into the tunes we provide, we made sure we would provide a durable sticker that will stand up to years in the elements. We want to grow and strengthen the ATS-V community and we would be proud to be seen on your Cadillac!
