I was thinking about a tune for my ATS-V and purchased a canned tune from one of the big shops.  This tune had decent power and I thought it was all that was available from a remote tune.  I read about Tapout Tuning on the forums and was impressed at the positive feedback from their customers.  I contacted Scott and he was very helpful in getting me started with the Tapout tune.  There was absolutely no pressure at any time.  He even looked at data scans from my old tune and gave me some advice before I was a customer!

Instead of a “one size fits all” approach, the tune is custom developed for my car and hardware combination, tuned to match my driving style and fine-tuned until all parameters are within Scott’s comfort zone.  He has answered questions almost any time of the day and worked hard to understand what I was looking for from my car.  He responded very quickly and was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure I was happy with the final product.  He seems to be available seven days a week and will respond to data scans with a new tune in the matter of a couple hours.  He was able to zone in on an awesome tune quickly and still went further to make sure everything was exactly correct.  The final product is a tune that has a little more power than my previous tune but more importantly, has a broader power range, is much more responsive and smoother in power delivery.  What I really need now are stickier rear tires.  My only disappointment is that I did not shop here first.

I’ve had several tuners and both had some success with my ATS-V, but I wasn’t satisfied with running 10.92 @ 125+. I contacted Scott Cook and made arrangements to do email style tuning with him. Very easy guy to talk to and willing to work with the customer to fix problems. We worked together to find the optimum tune, street testing on my part and a lot of time on Scott’s part working with my data logs. Scott is very patient and super skilled with this platform. I’m pleased  to say Scott did exactly what he said he could do, on 11-7-18 the car ran 10.79 @ 127+ on a no prep strip at Sonoma, CA. The 1.61 sixty foot was not my best (1.52) due to poor strip prep, so there is another .1 second available (a 10.69 or less). Can’t say enough good words for Scott’s tuning ability. My car is running quite well at this point. An added benefit of working with Scott is that he is a super nice guy, open and easy to work with. He actually answers his phone and checks texts and emails. Not your average tuner by any means. I can recommend him for your tuning needs without any hesitation.

Details on my car: New Era intake, full 3″ exhaust with 200 cell cats (+500cfm each), methanol injection and a great tune from Scott.

At first I was hesitant to tune my ATS-V but Scott made the process easy and painless along the way with immediate support and tune revisions throughout the process.

I haven’t had the car on the dyno or track yet but I can say without a doubt this car is much, much, MUCH faster than it was stock.  The car accelerated from 80-120 mph two solid seconds quicker when compared to the stock tune.

Scott was able to help me out with a street 93-octane tune as well as a more aggressive track tune with 93-octane fuel, plus a bit of octane booster in the tank as well.

You can tell that Scott truly enjoys what he is doing here and will give you top notch customer service that is hard to find anywhere else.

When I first got my ATS-V I was admittedly a little disappointed in its performance coming from a modified CTS-V2.  After getting several references I decided to go with Tapout Tuning for a little more power, and I have not been disappointed.  The tune is of course EXCELLENT.  I’ve taken down some serious competition on the track.  But there’s more to it than just that and Scott has exceeded my expectations in all areas.  He has worked with me seven days a week getting revisions to me immediately after each log, even after hours.  And he’s answered every question I’ve had.  After having a few bad experiences with remote tuners it was refreshing to work with someone so professional and punctual.  I will continue to use Tapout Tuning for my tuning needs in the future.

Thanks Scott.

I only had my ATS-V for three weeks when I felt the need for more performance. Owning a Caddy was something I never thought of before, but I couldn’t resist having this one. It had to be fast however to go along with its sweet looks. I started reading the CadillacOwners forum and found that Scott was one of the best tuners with these cars. I had already set a date to have someone else tune it until I found about Scott of Tapout Tuning. He even worked with me during hours I thought was surprising.  The car runs great, LOVING IT NOW!!  Now I will go out looking for those Camaros, Mustangs, Corvette and BMWs. New CADDY IN TOWN! lol.  Stay safe guys.
