Testimonials

I am the first French customer.  Scott explained to me very well how the HP Tuners works.  He is very responsive to emails.  This is my first remote tune.  I gained three seconds at 60 to 130 mph just with downpipes and tune on 93 octane fuel.  I am 200% satisfied.  I discover a new… Read more “French customer”

I just got my ATS-V a few weeks ago and handed it over to Scott Cook with Tapout Tuning.  We found the previous Trifecta tune actually degraded performance from stock (not a knock on them as there could have been a reason).  In just a few days the Tapout team had me over 600hp.  When… Read more “I Couldn’t Imagine Trusting Anyone Else with My V!”

I would like to preface my review with a general statement. With the ongoing pandemic lasting beyond expectations (at least my own), the mass of people have been forced to become online consumers. As such, I’m sure we have all to some extent experienced the inconvenience of having to call customer service, IT assistance, etc.… Read more “Incredible Customer Service During Pandemic!”

I’ve had an outstanding experience with my remote tune.  Scott Cook is remarkably communicative, to the point that I’m not sure if he has any life outside of supporting our LF4s.  Day and night, I sent communications to Scott, expecting that I wouldn’t receive a response for at least 24 business hours.  Time and again,… Read more “Above and Beyond”

I dealt with many tuners before Tapout and non of them was as fast and knowledgeable as Scott. Also, he never disappointed me with my requests. Definitely Tapout team is the best.

Scott and the Tapout team have been exceptional in all aspects of the tuning process, as well as their always in stock parts that ship same day. Best customer service I’ve received in a long time. Can’t go wrong with Tapout Tuning.

I went with Tapout for two reasons. Reputation and the fact that Scott continues to push the platform forward not just in tuning but with hardware development. My experience with Scott has been nothing short of spectacular. He had always been available and has sent me revisions at 9 pm.  I had issues with misfires… Read more “Spectacular Experience”

When I began to consider upgrading my V, I was urged by a friend and fellow Tapout customer to contact Scott for guidance and information.  I had considered a competitor, but it became clear that Scott and Tapout Tuning was the only way to go after only a single email.  Scott has provided nothing but… Read more “Glad I Didn’t Go Anywhere Else”

The ATS-V in stock form is one hell of a car. But, Scott working his magic, makes this car a completely different animal.

Just recently installed Tapout Throttle Body and Downpipes and have been very impressed with the quality! I would highly recommend Scott for any of your tuning and performance parts needs!

Best tune out there for the ATS-V.  Very impressed.  Best response from Scott.

Imagine a car tuner who is the forefront of a certain vehicle platform.  Now imagine that same tuner to have remote tuning capabilities.  You can probably imagine how busy this man is, given the limited number of tuners we have for the LF4 platform, much less competent ones.  And then, to top it all off,… Read more “MVT (Most Valuable Tuner)”

I’ve owned a few turbo cars in the past and there’s always been something left out by the OEM builders.  But what Scott was able to turn my ATS-V into with just a CAI, spark plugs change, and his enlarged throttle body is simply terrifying!

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… 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”
