Testimonials

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. You deal directly with Scott while tuning, and he works through the tune and tweaks it until not only he is happy, but YOU are happy.… Read more “The Best Tune Choice”

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. After diligent searching, I consistently was coming across Tapout Tuning as a leader in safe and optimized tuning for the ATS-V. A major bonus is that it happened to be basically in my back yard!… Read more “Fantastic Customer Service, Knowledge and Professionalism”

I finally gave in and decided I was going to get my ATS-V tuned. There were a couple well known tuners in town and a couple Remote Tuners I had on the list as options. I’ve been following the forums and Facebook pages for our platform, and only one company really caught my interest –… Read more “Amazing Tuning and Professional Customer Service!”

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… Read more “Better than the other guys”

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… Read more “My Experience with Tapout Tuning”

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… Read more “Great Custom Tune With Immediate Support Along The Way”

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. On to tuning, my car was 100% stock beside AFE intake filters.  Running these filters untuned seemed to pick up some decent… Read more “LF4 Whisperer”

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). Scott was always extremely helpful and patient, taking the time to answer my questions and provide screen shots… Read more “Best ATS-V tuner in the business”

I was a little skeptical going in just from previous experience with remote tunes and canned tunes that have scarred my memory. But the service here was far above anything I have had in the past. From the beginning, Scott Cook was attentive to what I desired out of the tune and sent me the… Read more “Tapout remote tune for the win!”

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. You were very very patient and kind, and gave fantastic results after spending many hours on my custom tunes (one for methanol injection and another for Toluene fuel additive). You were always available and very positive.  Gave great explanations to help me understand more and… Read more “I wanna thank you”

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. You will not find any better than what Scott provides. None. Always responds quickly and provides his knowledge even if it… Read more “Just Do It”

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 other,… 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 highly… Read more “Great Improvement In My ATS-V’s Performance”

Tapout Tuning stands apart from other tuners by providing a consultative, transparent approach to the calibration that is customized to the customer’s needs. There was very good communication throughout the entire process, always with the focus on meeting my personal goals. The emphasis was on safety, and I greatly appreciate that all of the factory… Read more “A great customer experience”
