Are you looking to maximize the horsepower of your 2016 Cadillac ATS-V? Tapout Tuning offers the premier remote tuning solution, utilizing the industry-leading HP Tuners MPVI2 device and VCM Suite software. Purchase the HP Tuners MPVI2 including the VCM Suite and 2 Universal Credits along with our expertly crafted Starting Point Tune to begin your journey towards enhanced performance. After easily flashing your car with our initial tune and performing a few data scans, simply send us the file. Our expert tuners will meticulously analyze your data and provide fine-tuned adjustments, returning an optimized file for you to upload. This collaborative process, typically involving three to six iterations, ensures your ATS-V is running at its peak potential. Furthermore, you gain continuous access to scan all Engine Control Module (ECM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM) parameters, empowering you with ongoing insights into your vehicle’s performance.
Experience Optimized Transmission Performance
Our TCM tuning goes beyond simply uploading generic settings. We begin by ensuring your ATS-V’s transmission control module is running the latest General Motors software updates. From there, we meticulously adjust baseline pressure tables for all forward gears, considering both Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) engaged and disengaged states, as well as all base shift pressure tables. These precise modifications result in transmission shifts that are noticeably firmer and crisper than factory settings, without introducing unwanted harshness into your daily driving experience.
Enhanced Launch Control for Manual ATS-V Models
For ATS-V models equipped with a manual M6 transmission, our ECM programming unlocks enhanced launch control capabilities. We reprogram the ECM to recognize when your vehicle is in first gear and the clutch is fully depressed. This allows us to implement a separate, customized rev limiter specifically for first gear launches. This innovative feature enables you to hold both the accelerator and clutch pedals fully depressed at the starting line and launch your ATS-V at your precise desired engine speed. This translates to the ability to launch under boost conditions, significantly improving off-the-line performance. We initially configure this launch control rev limiter to 6,000 rpm, a setting proven to deliver exceptional results, particularly when employing drag radial tires and expertly slipping the clutch.
Refined Active Exhaust Management
For 2017 through 2019 ATS-V models featuring active exhaust, our Chassis Control Module (CCM) tuning provides a more refined and user-friendly exhaust note experience. We adjust the active exhaust settings to eliminate abrupt and unwanted baffle opening under light throttle conditions at approximately 3,500 rpm. This subtle yet impactful adjustment ensures a smoother and more predictable exhaust sound profile across a broader range of driving scenarios.
To ensure we deliver the absolute best and most personalized performance tune for your 2016 ATS-V horsepower goals, we require customers to complete our detailed Tuning Questionnaire. This crucial step provides us with the necessary information about your vehicle and performance aspirations.
