The Tapout Tuning Mantra

Tapout Tuning has continued to evolve since its inception; however, our mantra has always remained the same: Provide the safest, most powerful tuning options, the highest quality parts, and the most experienced installations anywhere in the country.

We’ve continued to push the envelope, particularly so with the new Blackwing platform that was previously thought to be ‘untunable’. In the year and a half since we’ve begun that venture there were no easy roads, but still, we persevered. We’re proud to say that in that time we’ve begun to see what the CT4-V Blackwings are really capable of:

* First to dyno a CTV-4 Blackwing.
* First to tune a CTV-4 Blackwing on gasoline.
* First to tune a CTV-4 Blackwing on 100 octane.
* First to tune a CTV-4 Blackwing on E85 fuel blend.
* First to modify a CTV-4 Blackwing.
* First to hit 500 whp with a CT4-V Blackwing.
* First to hit 600 whp with a CT4-V Blackwing.
* First to hit 700 whp with a CT4-V Blackwing.
* First to run 10s with a CT4-V Blackwing.

And in case you’ve ever wondered where the Tapout Tuning name came from, our founder Scott Cook has been studying the art of Jiu-Jitsu for the past ten years. After 100 tournament matches and 2,000 training sessions he officially earned his black belt! As you know, our Performance Packages follow the white, blue, purple, and brown belts of Jiu-Jitsu, and now that Scott has his black belt, it seems only fitting that we officially announce our black belt packages in 2023.😉

There’s lots of exciting things to come for the LF4 platform, not to mention all things Blackwing! We’re headed to PRI in Indianapolis tomorrow so we can continue to develop the best possible products and service, so stay tuned for much more!

CT4-V Blackwing E30 Tuning!

One way or another, people find a way to get their cars to the Tapout Tuning shop in cold and chilly Ohio. In this case, Charley had a good friend drive his CT4-V Blackwing to our shop from Florida so we could install our Blue Belt Performance Package. That’s a good friend, and a lucky one too! Jorge worked his magic getting all of the parts installed so we could strap it to the Dyno and get to work on the tuning.

After we were finished, peak power increased from 416 to 546 whp, providing more power at every single point across the powerband. Multiple 546 whp pulls were done back to back using E30 fuel and a custom calibration map that we created in-house. We also made sure to provide Charley with a 93-octane pump gas map in case his friend wasn’t able to locate an E85 station on the nearly 1,200 mile trip back to Florida.

We’re thrilled with the progress we’ve made on performance parts, tuning, and complete performance packages for the CT4-V Blackwings that were originally thought to be ‘untunable’. Needless to say, we will continue to innovate and push this platform further than ever thought possible!

Mace Stage 1 Cams & Springs for the Win!

Our long-term customer and friend Chris shipped his baby all the way from California for Jorge’s magic touch. We installed our extremely popular Purple Belt Performance Package with Mace Stage 1 valve springs, titanium retainers and camshafts. First tune was fully automatic flex fuel, which ranged from 472 whp on 91-octane pump gas up to 573 whp on E60 or higher. Kill Tune is safe from E60 to E70 and put down a fantastic powerband peaking at 606 whp and 624 wtq. This just goes to show, you can still make great power even with lower octane fuel!
