Most people on the road today don’t think much of their trip from point A to point B. They’re distracted by their surroundings, the traffic in front of them or the fact that they paid way too much for that cup of coffee this morning. But for a select few their time on the road is pure freedom. In their ATS-V they can feel the connection between the car and the road, every twist and every turn is a chance to put your skills to the test. For those passionate drivers the journey is just as important as the destination. A Tapout Tuned ATS-V is your key to a true driving experience, and everyone deserves to have that.

That’s just the case with today’s Tapout Tune of the Week, Rob from Iowa. He bought his ATS-V to DRIVE it, not to watch it sit around in his garage. As such he knew he wanted to get the most out of his car, and what’s the best way to do that? A Tapout Remote Tune of course. “Scott laid everything out easily so I could follow step by step and in no time the car was tuned. I can’t believe how much smoother and more powerful the car is!” Part of  a Remote Tune from Tapout is not only the increased power, but also the improved shifting in the A8 cars like Rob’s. We are able to improve the ATS-Vs part throttle shifts by making them buttery smooth and adjusting full throttle shifts to be firm and crisp. Whether you are cruising around town or putting some joker in his place on the track, Tapout’s got you covered.

For many customers tuning is a completely new experience. We understand how important your ATS-V is to you and we don’t take that responsibility lightly. Our number one concern is tuning your car safely and everything we do is completed with that in mind.

In today’s Tapout Tune of the Week, Kyle from New Jersey had recently purchased his ATS-V and was hesitant about tuning. He had never done something like this so he wanted to make sure he worked with a tuner that had the proper experience for the job. “After talking with Scott, my mind was at ease and I purchased his tune” Kyle said. He went on to say, “Scott has top tier customer service and even higher tier tunes! I will recommend his service to anyone!”

Our goal is always to make sure you are happy with your tune. With our comprehensive knowledge on the LF4 platform we can make your ATS-V the performer you always knew it could be. Don’t settle for the limitations GM thought your V should have, and as Kyle said, “prepare to unlock BEAST MODE on your V!”

Why do we force everyone to go through the extra hassle of data logging their ATS-Vs before we will tune them? Because we don’t want to add boost to cars that might already be ticking time bombs. Check out this recent data scan from a totally stock car with OEM tune. In this case the owner had no idea there was anything wrong. This table shows average Knock Retard (KR) by airflow versus engine speed. You can see massive amounts of KR everywhere, because his intercooler was not working at all. This was confirmed by MAT (manifold air temperature) remaining > 180 degrees at WOT (wide open throttle). Having learned this we would never consider shipping out a canned tune that adds four to six more pounds of boost to this ATS-V without first getting the intercooler repaired. By data logging your car Tapout Can identify problems such as this and make sure they are addressed before moving forward. Once the intercooler is fixed, we can start tuning the car.
