Testimonials

When I first talked to Scott regarding a Tapout tune I knew he was the one for this platform.  He had the knowledge I was looking for.  After he sent me my first tune the car was completely different.  We worked back and forth and created some great revisions for different fuel octanes, drag strip… Read more “Top notch tuning /customer service”

Scott lived up to his reputation and then some. His tune is excellent, and his service is even better! His response time, knowledge and diligence to get the tune right for what his customer wants was better than expected…..and my expectations were high based on other customer testimonials. Scott leaves everyone in the rear view… Read more “Great Tune & Service”

I was having intake problems with my ’16 ATS-V, then I tuned it up with Tapout Tuning and it fixed all the problems.  Scott always replied back right away with any questions I had.  The service was incredible and my car runs really fast in Mexico.  LOL   The best thing that has happened to my… Read more “Drives like a real V”

I was a bit worried about working with a remote tuner, but Scott has by far exceeded my expectations. Scott’s knowledge, patience and most importantly, his responsiveness are top notch. I’m doubtful that you’ll find another tuner that is so willing to help you. I’m very happy with my tune and I’m still working with… Read more “Excellent Response Time, Every Time!”

Scott has provided superb service months before I was even a paying customer! In one day, I received the same amount of responses that have taken my friends weeks to receive working with other tuners! I’m not sure I’ve ever had better service through any company of any type! The car is much improved, and… Read more “Just what I wanted!”

Scott did a great job remote tuning my wife’s car, we had a few hurdles to jump over, but he worked diligently with me to get everything worked out. The car drives like stock until you go full throttle and then you can feel the noticeable increase in power which is exactly what we wanted.… Read more “Willing to go the extra mile!”

If you’re having any doubts or worries about maybe going with a different tuner DON’T.  Scott helped me and gave me so much information long before I decided I was going to use his services.  Once I pulled the trigger to have Scott tune my car my only regret afterwards was not having him tune… Read more “Absolutely Amazing!!!”

Held out on tuning my car for quite a while, and finally gave in. Being limited to 91 octane gas in California I wasn’t expecting huge power gains, but was very pleasantly surprised at just how much more Scott was able to get out of the car even on 91 octane… it’s a huge difference… Read more “The tune is great, dealing with Scott is even better!”

I contacted Scott after doing a lot of research between the ATS-V tuners. I purchased the Remote Tune Plus which came with HP Tuners.  The HP Tuners arrived very quick and we were off. I followed Scott’s detailed instructions and sent him my stock scans.  With a very quick turnaround he sent me a custom… Read more “The ATS-V is ALIVE!”

Just do it!  I am one of the most nit picky people when it comes to my car.  Scott ensured that everything was 110% before finalizing the tune.  Now my car is much more powerful and responsive than stock, and it has almost ZERO knock.  The stock tune has so much knock in comparison.  10/10… Read more “Don’t Hesitate”

First off I want to thank you for your excellent customer service.  So far the buying process has been easy with excellent communication.  But also I want to thank you immensely for your support for the community.

Scott is the one and only person I would ever let touch my car. He is very knowledgeable and his customer service is by far the best I have ever had.

I’ve owned a few performance cars over the years and my 2016 Frost White ATS-V is my favorite by far. When I bought it I new there a few quirks I was going to have to get used to, especially with the A8 transmission. I knew a tune would be in my future, and I’ve… Read more “My car is finally awake”

Scott put a fantastic tune on my ATS-V. Throttle response is a lot smoother and it now pulls hard even from the low end. While adding power, the tune actually made the car a lot better to drive everyday due to the smooth power band. While stock it was a lot of fun, and it… Read more “Great Tune Fantastic Service”

Recently came out of a modded V2 into a 2016 ATS-V loaded CPO 7,200 miles. As you can imagine, I felt a bit underwhelmed with raw power versus a pullied and E85 V2. Knew before I even took delivery it would eventually be a Tapout car!  Being that I already owned HP tuners and bumped… Read more “Great Tune, Great Service”

I almost went with another tuner before deciding on Scott at Tapout. I talked to a guy that I was considering buying his car instead of modifying mine. He said don’t let anyone tune your car except Scott because he had several guys tune his and Scott was the only one he would trust again.… Read more “Only one tuner for ATS-V’s”

I can tell the difference after the tune.  The car is way faster now!  Thank you Scott for working on my tune.  Also, he replied to every question I had.  Thank you again so much.

From having issues dealing with a local tuner on a previous car I had in the past I was kinda skeptical of tuning again and especially a email tune. Having talked to Scott briefly over messenger I quickly realized he actually cares and took time to explain things to me unlike my past tuner so… Read more “Best in the Business”

Scott, I can’t say enough good things about you and the way you conduct your business.

WOW!-as simple as that; the absolute best way to describe the tuning and support from Tapout Tuning. Scott is extremely responsive with his communication and tune revisions.

Tapout Tuning helped me take my 2017 ATS-V from good to great!  The ATS-V has some of the best chassis dynamics and styling of any modern GM sedan.  It is incredibly comfortable on the race track as it is on the street and when you drive the car on and off the track you often… Read more “From Good to Great!”

This is my first time experiencing a remote tune, and I will be honest I was a little hesitant at first. Scott laid everything out easily so I could follow step by step and in no time the car was tuned I can’t believe how much smoother and more powerful the car is! Scott has… Read more “Are you on the fence about tuning? DO IT!”

Scott has been absolutely amazing. My first dealings with Scott was his helping me diagnose an issue with my car before I was even tuned by Tapout. I originally had my car tuned elsewhere when I had my first mods installed and was not impressed by a 12.3 (sec) outing at the track. After becoming… Read more “Top Notch Results and Service”

Where do I start? When I contacted Scott about tuning my V, I was very hesitant about the entire process, especially since I never tuned a car before.

After losing faith in the quality of work performed by my dealer’s performance shop, I started to question the safety characteristics of my dyno tune.

I can’t say enough good about Scott and his dedication to helping his customers get the best tune. My case was especially challenging. I bought a used 2016 ATS-V, and after a few efforts at tuning, it became obvious that something was amiss about my car. Turns out that a previous service person hadn’t reconnected… Read more “Long Trip, well rewarded”

I can definitely say that working with Scott has been the best choice that I have made. There are many shops around, that do great things, however I was very skeptical of taking the Caddy to a shop that wasn’t familiar with these cars. As well, I was skeptical of doing a mail order tune.… Read more “Boost Mode Enabled”

Scott went above and beyond when tuning my V. We ran into several issues as he began tuning. He was able to troubleshoot and tell me what was wrong with it. We exchanged over 70 emails and never once did he come off as angry or frustrated. I can tell that he is truly passionate… Read more “Unmatched customer service”

I am extremely overwhelmed with the outstanding customer service and tuning capabilities I have received so far from Scott.

At first, I planned to drive two hours to Columbus to meet Scott in person, but between the weather and my schedule, I decided that a Remote Tune would be the quickest option since Spring was here and it was time to awaken the beast (M6 sedan). Having zero understanding of tuning a car, I… Read more “Tapout Take(n)Over”

Let me start off by saying I have worked with multiple different tuners throughout my life and Scott is by far the best.

Scott is a real professional with a pinch of friend and a big helping of family.

What any other place would have said, “welp, once you… Read more “WOW! Just WOW!”

Scott has made my first experience with tuning the most inviting and easy experience ever. Everything was new to me, from operating the software to writing the tune to the car. I would only recommend Scott at Tapout Tuning!!

Before going to Tapout, I had a local shop dyno tune my 2016 ATS-V coupe at the same time I installed all of my bolt-ons. I gained power but, it just did not drive the smoothest which was important to me as this car is my daily driver. After I uploaded Scott’s final tune, I… Read more “Best ATS-V Tuner & Easy to Work With”

First off, let me tell you Scott is one cool dude! His service is off the charts. He let’s you take your time to send him scans and perfects the tune until you like the way the car runs. He replies super-fast email or phone which was a big thing for me while tuning the… Read more “Amazing tuner!”

Unbelievable that there was so much untapped performance left from the factory that Scott could extract. My car is now CRAZY fast. I only had a few weeks of decent, but cold, weather after finish with tuning in November. I can’t wait to drive the car in the summer with warmer temperatures, summer tires and… Read more “Amazing! I can’t believe it’s the same car.”

From the beginning you can tell you’re dealing with a perfectionist and someone who knows exactly what he is talking about. I originally got a dyno tune from a big competitor because I was so afraid of remote tuning. Little did I know, the tune that I got was crap compared to what it is… Read more “ALL BOOST NO DOOR TRICKS, Scott is #1 in the ATS-V world!”

I had heard of Scott at Tapout, through the car grapevine, and decided to purchase a tune to wake my car up.  Scott made my car an entirely different animal, and the best part is, he continues to be a fountain of knowledge.  I feel like I have a teammate who cares about helping my… Read more “Tapout Tune Experience”

What separates Tapout from the other limited number of ATS-V tuning options is not only Scott’s familiarity with this platform, but also the personal customer service that you receive.

I’ve had many heavily modified cars over the years and most of them got some form of tuning, ranging from OTS maps to professional dyno-tuning, however, I’ve always stayed away from e-tunes in the past. I’ve had my ATS-V for about two years and I’ve been researching my tuning options for the last year. After… Read more “Outstanding Service”

I’ve had my ATS-V for a year and a half.  I initially shipped it to a prominent tuner in Ohio, not knowing they were way overpriced, had horrible customer service and the tune was not only poorly done, it was also very dangerous as I came to find out.  Another well-known tuner was my second… Read more “Third Time’s a Charm”

Since I was one of Scott’s initial remote tune customers, I felt the need to write a new testimonial after nearly one year of working with him.  As Scott has pushed the limits of the platform to discover what is possible, his subscription service has allowed me to take advantage of the things he has… Read more “Love the Calibration Updates”

Got Scott’s help with a Tapout Remote Tune and added the Renick Performance cold air intake this week. Let me say that the car is a monster now. 7,000 rpm rev limiters and lots more turbo noise.  Pulls very hard and annihilates my 285 4S tires out back through the gears.  Excellent customer service from… Read more “Custom Tune with great results”

I purchased an ATS-V a few months ago and was exploring options to assist with performance mods and respective tuning.

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.

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… Read more “Seriously Great Tuner”

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… Read more “Great Tuner”

I had a popular tune from a well-known tuner. Logged a few dyno pulls and the car was making good power, however it  was peaking at 21 pounds of boost and was running lean from what I can tell. I emailed the tuner, with my concerns and they sent me a 2 sentence reply saying… Read more “Best LF4 Tuner in the Business, Period”

When I bought my 2016 ATS-V I had so many questions.  Scott was there on day one answering my questions and offering services.  He wasn’t pushy, just letting you know what he provides.

I worked with Scott on my 2016 ATS-V 6mt sedan, going through multiple iterations of the tune to nail down the performance with a tune that is specific to the configuration of my car (RP aftermarket parts).

I was fortunate enough to have won a free tune from Tapout Tuning on a Facebook contest I entered. From day one I have had nothing but great communication with Scott Cook @ Tapout Tuning. He was willing and able to look at my scans and answer my text and emails as need. Never did… Read more “Could Not Be Happier.”

Big shout out to Scott Cook @ Tapout Tuning. He was willing to look at a datalog of my original “custom” ATS-V tune for free.  I suspected it wasn’t a good tune but my tuner “couldn’t see anything unusual” in the log and stopped responding to me. Scott pointed out some issues with the tune… Read more “Best Custom Tuning Service I’ve Ever Used”

I wanna thank you for your great and professionally service.

I decided to take my ATS-V to Scott after reading some bad things that were done from a previous tuner……and it was a decision I didn’t regret. Let me first talk about customer service.

I was recommended to Scott by James Renick and how he was the only tuner he trusts personally.
So I thought to myself, If James R. trusts him then I have no doubt in my mind that I would want my car in his hands. From the moment we first made contact with each… Read more “Great tuner and great performance!”

I was fortunate enough to run across Scott when I did because I had long suspected the so called pro tune I received from a well known Performance Shop in Cincinnati was not all it was cracked up to be.
I contacted Scott at Tapout Tuning because others w/ similar tuning issues spoke very… Read more “Great Improvement In My ATS-V’s Performance”
