SCHMIDTY TUNING PACKAGES: 

We can tune the cars with no mods at all, just a set of plugs as well
however the recommended parts below entail the best "Bang For Your Buck" as we ramp up the power & performance of your ATS-V or CTS V-Sport
 

STAGE 1  

With this package an ATS-V has the potential to run drag passes ranging from high 10 seconds to mid 11 seconds in the ¼ mile while producing around 

500-550 RWHP give or take depending on the dyno.

2. Drop in KN Filters - Click Here
3. Downpipes – We recommend Renick Performance's Universal LF3/4 resonated "H"Downpipes  • ATS-V  - Click Here  • CTS V-Sport  - Click Here
4. Soler Performance throttle body with Velocity stack- Click Here
    

Schmidty Flex Fuel Tunes 

The stock ATSV fuel system can be tuned with a roughly E30 blend.  The CTS Vsport can handle a bit more, usually in the E35-E40 range however if you want to run more boost and higher ethanol content you need to upgrade the fuel systems.  Flex fuel tunes require a flex fuel sensor.

  STAGE 2  
Known as our famous "Grey Sweatpants Package" an ATS-V can be expected to run anywhere from high 9 seconds to mid 10 seconds through the ¼ mile while producing 600-650 RWHP typically. 

This is where we step things up with fuel system modifications for E60 blends and more boost. These are the most commonly used parts currently.

We reccomend ATSV running ethanol blends and higher boost levels to run a quality 5w40 oil.

   In order to provide the most fueling potential and run full E85 on stock turbos we recommend 

•  XDI 21% Fuel Cam  Here 
•  XDI HPFP Click Here
• XDI LPFP-  Click Here

or you can just buy our full package which includes XDI LPFP, XDI HPFP 21% fuel cam and flex fuel sensor Click Here

If you plan to run larger turbos and want to run E85 or just want the best of the best there are additional fuel mods to consider adding:

• XDI 50%+ Injectors Click Here
• DSX Auxiliary Fuel Pump Kit Click Here

With the DSX auxiliary fuel pump you can skip the XDI LPFP upgrade and just run this with the stock LPFP as well.

We do not recommend combining the ZZP fuel lobe cam with HPFP upgrade
