A little while back we had a customer, Paul, that made the drive to our shop from New Jersey because he wasn’t happy with a competitor’s tune he was running. Now keep in mind this was when there was still quite a bit of snow on the ground as you can tell by the salt coating so we admire Paul’s determination!

His previous tune put down 502 whp and 484 wtq and he felt there was more power to be had. A couple of hours later he left with his Tapout Tune producing 528 whp and 506 wtq! That just goes to show you never know what’s left on the table. Getting your ATS-V on a dyno is a great way to safely squeeze out every last bit of power and the controlled setting really allows us to work some magic.

Just remember, ATS-Vs are meant to be driven, and driven hard. So get out there and drive yours no matter what the weathers like!

California has always been a place where car culture can’t help but flourish. Outside of the busy highways, the open road beckons to anyone willing to answer the call. Be it a Lamborghini, a Ferrari or a Cadillac, those long winding roads are a haven for the beautiful connection between driver and the vehicle they so choose.

Jacob chose a Cadillac ATS-V, and regardless of how these two came together the driving experience should be nothing short of exceptional. Unfortunately, Jacob’s first tuner didn’t deliver on that. “My previous tune had the car lurching and excessive backfires, but the Tapout Tune corrected all that! Satisfied customer and looking forward to more power!” We won’t settle for anything less than the safest and most powerful tune your ATS-V can handle. No matter where you’re starting from, Tapout will get you where you want to go.

Much like a fingerprint, no two ATS-Vs are exactly the same. While there are commonalities between them, the key is being able to fine tune each particular ATS-V so that it is performing at its absolute best.

Manny in Pennsylvania has had experience with many different tunning companies on several different platforms so he knew what to expect when it came time to tune his ATS-V. After working with us he went on to say, “Besides his wealth of knowledge on how to optimize the LF4 platform, his customer service in the tuning industry is unparalleled”. We’re always working to push this platform forward and our knowledge never stops growing.

Average is never acceptable to us and that’s why our tunes just keep getting better and better. In fact, Manny has been using his Dragy to see how well his ATS-V has been performing. He just posted an awesome 6.29 second 60 to 130 mph Dragy time and we’re stoked for him!

For those of you who live in Ohio, it’s a quick drive to the Tapout Tuning Shop where there’s a whole new world of possibilities. Paul is one of our Ohio customers and was lucky enough to pick up an absolutely cherry 2018 ATS-V A8 with only 10,000 miles on the clock.

Of course Paul doesn’t like to mess around, so with temporary tags still on he dropped his car off at our shop and went for the full Purple Belt Performance Package. Something interesting we found was that his ATS-V already had another tune on it, and the car was only producing 364 whp and 421 wtq on 93 octane pump gas. After flashing it back to stock, power actually improved to 391 whp and 424 wtq on 93 pump gas.

After we completed our Purple Belt Performance Package installation, Paul’s ATS-V is making 605 whp and 640 wtq on E56 fuel! We can assure you that after we added and additional 200 plus whp and wtq this V is on a completely different level. And that’s a level that anyone with an ATS-V would like to be on.
