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.

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!

“The ats v is matching up very well thanks to Scott Cook and the people over at Tapout Tuning. Always making sure my car is running top tier and steady pulling like a freight train, while still providing A1 customer service at almost all hours of the day could not ask for anything more. Turbos and a fuel cam coming soon hopefully 😌 “

Whether you drive an ATS-V, CTS-V Sport, CT4-V Blackwing, or CT5-V Blackwing, we love seeing people driving their car to us from all across the country. Regardless of the crazy power any one of these cars can make, they’re still Cadillacs, so you know the drive is going to be a comfortable one.

Tim drove his M6 CT4-V Blackwing to our shop all the way from North Carolina so it could start making the power it deserves with our Blue Belt Performance Package. After completing the installation of the Green high performance air filters, Gigs ported throttle body, Brisk spark plugs and Tapout resonated downpipes, we also completed and oil and filter change so Tim would be well prepared for the drive back home.

After strapping his Blackwing to our Dyno we got to work on tuning where we were able to increase peak power from 412 to 498 whp with more power at every single point across the rpm range! We certainly think that Tim had a little more fun on the drive home than he did on the ride here!
