I wanted to give an update on my Tapout Tuning adventures on my 2017 ATS-V after getting the purple belt installed by Tapout Tuning back in 2021. My CPO warranty was almost up at 50,000 miles, so I figured it was the perfect time for an upgrade. Now, with a whopping 89,000 miles on the car (and an impressive 39,000 of those with the purple belt and kill tune engaged), this car is still running like an absolute beast! We went from a respectable 464 HP (at the crankshaft) to a mind-blowing 615 HP (at the wheels)!
This is a true testament to the quality and durability of Tapout’s work. I don’t do 1/4 mile pulls often, but I do enjoy the weekend street racing, and this car has held up beautifully through it all. I’m religious about regular maintenance (oil changes before 50% life left, Brisk plugs every 5k miles, transmission flushes, etc.), but the purple belt has definitely made a noticeable difference in both performance and longevity.
I can’t say enough good things about the Tapout team. Their customer support is top-notch, and they’re always quick to respond to any questions. Jorge, you’re a wizard with the LF4! I’m even taking another trip to Gatlinburg in September (my 9th since the purple belt install), and I have zero worries about my car’s performance. If you’re looking for reliable performance upgrades that will truly last, and a company that stands behind their work, look no further than Tapout Tuning. if you have any questions and are considering Tapout feel free to reach out to me with questions at Mlsharp301@hotmail.com.
