Scott has been my tuner (I believe I was his very first or maybe second customer) since May of 2018 after he had spent 10 years of setting drag racing records tuning and driving Pontiacs along w/ his brother Bob. He told me he needed a new challenge. Having tried other tuners the first 6 months I owned my 2016 ATS-V (w/ crappy results we won’t go into) I contacted Scott Cook at Tapout Tuning and asked him to tune my LF4 and have never regretted that decision or looked back. My ATS-V has been my daily driver since day one and now has 201,688 miles of Tapout tuned miles on the clock. Previous testing at Tapout HQ in November of 2022 showed my OEM valve springs had become worn out and I was losing HP after about 5500 RPM. Scott suggested a new set of Tapout Valve Springs along w/ a set of performance cams I had Jorge slip in during the operation. I was making a trip from my home in Florida to Ohio anyway and Scott squeezed me into his schedule during the last week of May 2024. Tapout is fortunate to employ Jorge Munoz who is recognized in our community as the THE top LF4 mechanic. ( I moved from Ohio to Florida w/ plans to use Jorge as my LF4 go-to tech and Jorge promptly moved to Ohio….go figure). After a two day stay at Tapout HQ Scott and Jorge had my car strapped on the Dynojet and after about 5 or 6 WOT pulls Scott had recovered the 50 HP I had lost due to the worn out valve springs but added an additional 50 or so after 5500 RPM. My car is a beast once again and I couldn’t be happier w/ the results. In case you missed it my car has 201,688 miles on it and has posted a 10.505 at 134 mph in 2023 at the Cadillac Attack Event at that time I had 186,000 on the clock. That in its self has to be a World Record. I hopefully will head to the track tomorrow w/ a plan to set a personal best 1320 of 10.25@137. Make sure to give my friend Scott a call when you feel the need for speed.
