TCM Tune!

“Excellent trans tune that transformed my ‘17 A8 purple belt with stage 1 cams + springs. Noticeably less lag and power drop during shifts. The car is grabbing the next gear with authority compared to the stock calibration. Tour mode after the tune now feels similar to track mode before the tune. The transmission definitely feels more sporty, snappy and responsive. Revving out to 7000+ rpm now is a great feeling as well. Automatic upshifting while being in manual mode is also a very nice touch.”

Cadillac Attack 2023 Recap!

This year’s Cadillac Attack was another huge success. It’s hard to put into words how cool it is to have so many of your friends together in one place from all over the country to go drag racing. It’s a sport that really brings people together and shows just how much can be accomplished when you set your mind to it.
This was a weekend jam packed with accomplishments and accolades as the Tapout Tuning team brought their A game so the world could see what these LF4s are truly capable of. We are happy to report some of the many great things that happened over the weekend, there are a few we’d like to highlight:

• Heather Swihart won first place in the ATS-V Bracket Class
• Jorge Munoz ran 9.785 @141.36 mph on his first pass at 4,006 pounds, then set the new True Street record of 9.768 @ 137 mph at his 3,971 race weight in +851’ D/A on his second pass
• Bob Cook set the new ATS-V quarter mile record of 8.77 @ 155 mph
• Paul Berger took 2nd place in the manual class amongst all the V8 cars
• Paul Browning took 2nd place in the True Street class by .001 second on stock turbos

We also want to mention Brian Chrestoff, as well as John Sheskey, and Dane Vukasinovic who all set new personal best’s traveling all the way from Illinois and Michigan. And a big shoutout to Chris Tetsos who made the trip all the way from Canada and generously provided his Polaris Pools sponsorship! It was an incredible weekend filled with good times and fast cars. There’s no better way to spend a weekend than racing with the Tapout Tuning family. We can’t wait to see everyone there next year!

History Repeats Itself, Again!

Way back in 2008, Bob Cook built and drove the first GM Series II/III 3800 FWD to ever hit an eight second quarter mile, running 8.95 @ 157 mph in his ’99 Grand Prix GT. 15 years later at the 2023 Cadillac Attack, Bob was behind the wheel when his 2016 ATS-V became the first to crack eights. After three days of racing, he was able to lay down times of 8.97, 8.86 and then 8.77 seconds on his final pass. That repeatable consistency is key, and we promise you, we’re far from finished with this car!

The current modifications include the Tapout Tuning Brown Belt Performance Package, with the turbos switched out for aftermarket units. The engine, cylinder heads and intercooler are still stock except for forged pistons and stronger fasteners. It’s even still using the OEM transmission with Circle D torque converter. Basically, this car is running the initial beta tester of our future Black Belt Performance Package. We’re still working to neatly finalize and produce this kit at an affordable price, so it’s not quite ready for sale. All details and pricing will be announced later this year, so stay tuned!

Tapout Tuning is the main innovator for the LF4 platform. We pride ourselves on offering the best possible parts, service and tuning without any excuses. Records were meant to be broken, and we’re not stopping here!

Tapout Carbon Fiber CAI Upgrade!

Our good friend Brian drove in from Florida for a Tapout carbon fiber cold air intake, LPFP upgrade and custom dyno tune. He has been running our Purple Belt Performance Package for two and a half years and wanted to maximize his performance. After all, Brian has one of the coolest looking ATS-Vs on the road, so he wanted more power to match those badass looks.

Final results after strapping his ATS-V to our dyno were 616 peak whp and 655 wtq using SAE correction on E68 fuel. This is mighty impressive for a car that now has 158,000 miles on the odometer. However, we were seeing some valve float above 5,700 rpm. Next mods we recommend for this car will be Mace Stage 1 valve springs and titanium retainers. Once he gets that done, Brian will really be, Runnin’ with the Devil.

100 Octane CT4-V Blackwing Blue Belt Package!

Kaylee and Jonathan drove their new CT4-V Blackwing to our shop all the way from Texas so we could set them up with our Blue Belt Performance Package. They were eager to step up the boost because while the CT4-V Blackwing is one of the most well balanced and incredible handling cars on the road today, the power just doesn’t quite keep up.

We got to work installing Green high performance air filters, Gigs ported throttle body, Brisk silver racing spark plugs, JB4, Tapout resonated downpipes, and we topped it all off with one of our carbon fiber engine covers. Baseline pull was 426 whp. JB4 Map 0 put down 449 whp, and Map 1 made 503 whp on 93-octane. We then created a custom map for 100-octane that made 551 peak whp! Jonathan and Kaylee will certainly be arguing about whose turn it is to drive on the 1,000 drive back home!
