All of us at Tapout Tuning have thoroughly enjoyed reading your ATS-V stories. It’s easy to see that our love of this car runs deep. Those on the outside looking in may not understand, but we know this car is special. As soon as you get behind the wheel and start it up the LF4 comes to life, the exhaust roars with fury and you know what you hear? The sweet sounds of freedom. You are master of your domain and when you’re behind the wheel of your ATS-V nothing can stop you. Well, except maybe the cops… they can probably stop you. That is if they’re quick enough.

And what could make the ATS-V even better? A Remote Tune from Tapout of course! So it is our pleasure to announce David McVay as our Thanksgiving contest winner! After reading his story about how hanging with some other V owners inspired him to push his own ATS-V to the next level, we just had to help him out!  So David, just send us an email to Sales@TapoutTuning.com and we will get the tuning process started. We want to thank everyone who participated. It means a lot to us that you would take the time to do so.

If you didn’t win this contest don’t fret! Tapout Tuning will be offering a special Black Friday Deal tomorrow where you can get 33% off a Tapout Remote Tune and 50% off any monthly Tuning Subscription! Head over to TapoutTuning.com for this offer you don’t want to miss!

You have allowed us to share our love of fast cars and fueled our desire to make the LF4 platform a serious force to be reckoned with.

The rules for this contest are simple: Head over to the ATS-V Performance Pursuit page and make a post about your most interesting race, mod or performance story related to the ATS-V. The best post we see will be the winner! Just use the hashtag #TurkeyTune so we know you’re entering in the contest.

It’s not uncommon that we have customers coming to us for a Tapout Tune after they were unsatisfied with the capabilities of their previous tuner. Whether their old tuner was unresponsive or just wasn’t giving them the help they needed, Tapout Tuning is happy to provide the expertise and support you deserve.

Callum from Manitoba, Canada had just that experience so he’s our feature on today’s Tapout Tune of the Week! After having a bad experience with a previous tuner Callum was skeptical about tuning again. He just did not want to deal with the rigmarole that other sub-par tuners put their customers through. However, Callum had a change of heart after speaking with Tapout. “Having talked to Scott briefly over Messenger I quickly realized he actually cares and took time to explain things to me unlike my last tuner so I was sold!” We are happy to explain our process as much or as little as your would like. All that matters to us is that you are happy with your tune! Callum went on to say, “I’ve had endless communication with Scott, numerous tune renditions from 91, 93, 93 plus BOOSTane, to my new 91 winter tune.”

We can safely tune your ATS-V for your specific needs and help you to reach your goals. We understand that everyone is looking to get something different out of their car and we’re happy to be your one-stop-shop for all things ATS-V performance!

The ATS-V community is made up of many devoted car enthusiasts. Driven by performance, our team works tirelessly to make advancements within the platform. In the time since the ATS-V’s introduction in 2016 we have made leaps and bounds towards making this the most balanced sports car on the road today. Capable of putting down impressive times both at the drag strip and the race track, the ATS-V is a ruby in a mountain of rocks.

An aftermarket tune for your ATS-V is one thing, but a Tapout Tune goes above and beyond the call of your standard tuner. Not only do we provide you with a tune to suit your preferred driving style, we also have a list of parameters we check within your engine to ensure optimal and safe performance. We are able to determine if your intercooler is functioning properly, make sure adequate fuel is being delivered, and we can even diagnose issues your ATS-V may be having before it has even been tuned by us.

To make sure we are on the same page as you, every Remote Tune we complete starts with a tuning questionnaire. This allows us to completely understand every aspect of your ATS-V, what mods you are running and even your future plans and goals with the car. Once you are satisfied with your custom tune we are available to provide advice on how to get the most out of your ATS-V. We have decades of experience drag racing and plenty of seat time in our own ATS-V on the strip to give you advice specific to the ATS-V.

Thinking of adding further modifications after we’ve completed your tune? That’s not a problem for Tapout. We can updated your tune to get the most out of those new speed parts. And if you don’t have a lot of experience modifying your vehicle with aftermarket parts, we can recommend the best products for accomplishing your goals. The Tapout Tuning Services know no bounds and you are our number one priority. The performance of your ATS-V is a direct reflection on us and that is not a responsibility we take lightly. Remember, with a Tapout Tune you won’t have to tapout at the the track!

Fast cars and tuning is a formula that has always led to fun. What could be better than taking an already incredible car like the ATS-V and kicking things up a notch to really get your adrenaline pumping? There’s no better feeling than being on the open road and seeing what your Tapout Tuned ATS-V can really do. Most people on the road may never get to experience that, but for those that do it’s an experience they won’t soon forget.

Luis from Texas is today’s Tapout Tune of the Week and he had never experienced a remote tune before. This was all uncharted territory for him so he had questions on how the whole process would work. We go the extra mile and work with you so that your ATS-V performs how YOU want it to. We know the tune is complete once you are totally satisfied, and not a minute sooner. Luis was happy that we took the time to get his ATS-V just right. “It is not like Scott just sends a tune and that’s all. He has been working on my car now for about one week and he is still editing and getting the car better and better!” Our extensive knowledge of the LF4 platform allows us to provide this level of service and we’re so happy to be able to share that knowledge through our Remote Tapout Tunes. So what are you waiting for – find out what your ATS-V is really capable of today!

Part of the fun of owning a fast car like the ATS-V is that you can always look for ways to make it faster. As we have learned, an aftermarket tune is one of the best ways to add power. Of course things never stop with just a tune, it’s always about chasing that extra power you know you can find. Whether it be from higher flow fuel pumps or exhaust, there are a myriad of ways we can try and get those 1/4 mile times even better. What’s important to remember is that if you don’t customize your tune to accommodate those other additional parts, you’ll actually be doing more harm than good.

With a Remote Tune from Tapout we can accommodate any aftermarket add-ons you can think of. If you want to go a step further, a Tuning and Support Subscription ensures every change you make to your ATS-V can be adjusted by us in your personal tune. One example of a fellow ATS-V owner chasing power is today’s Tapout Tune of the Week, Nick from New York.

So far he has installed a CAI, catless downpipes, Xtreme-DI fuel cam, Tapout LPFP and will soon be installing our new torque converter and Synapse BOV’s. After each new part installation we have been there to make the critical tune adjustments his car needs to perform at its best. “Throughout every step of the process Scott has helped, from dealing with my installer to answering every questions I have”. An ATS-V tune requires the highest level of precision, skill and knowledge, even more so when you introduce aftermarket parts into the mix. Thanks to the countless tunes we have completed you can be sure we have the expertise to help make you the king of the street and your local track!
