There was a time where all we did was Gen I Small Block Chevys. Around Early 2000’s is when we made the jump to LS and never looked back. We have been building and tuning every generation of the SBC for over 30 years. I do love getting to show off our knowledge of these older engines. Dialing in these modern Holley systems is no problem for TAP!

MAP Sensors. Let’s talk about them. This sensor is what measures the BOOST (and vacuum) your engine is seeing. It BLOWS MY MIND 🤯 How many boosted cars I get with the incorrect MAP sensor for the application. It is literally Tuning 101: The Basics. If the first thing your tuner does isn’t figuring out what MAP sensor you have, which one you need, and tune accordingly, you got the wrong guy, pal. More surprising, it’s always the “boosted tuners” that make these mistakes. On top of that, they must be able to tune a Volumetric Efficiency table CORRECTLY.

Attached is a @jerry.waltonn 2004 Silverado SS with a Magnuson supercharger that bounced around town before getting fixed up right by TAP.

Well… I guess it’s about time I post something. 😀

We have been open at our new shop location for about 6 months now. We have been pumping out engines, tuning, performance packages, machine work and installs as fast as we can while maintaining our same level of quality.

We are still mostly a 2 man operation. All your tuning, engine assembly, install work, and our online presence is done by Anthony. Have patience with us getting you in and getting back to you please and thank you.

We are busy thanks to our customers recommendations. Thank you to everyone who has sent business our way. If you do not see us posting anything, it is because we have not needed to. I do wish I posted more consistently and hope to share more with you all soon.

💻A factory Gen III ECU/Tune with built in boost control, 2 step, launch control, uses your wideband for closed loop fueling, capable of 45 psi❓

❓Who else can do 🥷💩 like this?

🦗🦗🦗

Just curious.

🟠@cristian_papasote ‘s 2005 Chevy Silverado. TAP built engine, lots of custom TAP wiring and modifications, TAP engine and transmission tune. Truck has been driving around for well over a year now, still going strong 💪

🙋🏻‍♂️If you need tuning hit up TAP

⚫️ C6 with an LS3 and Magnuson 2300. Came in with some broken ring lands. The factory 10.9:1 compression, mixed with 91 octane, and 115 degree Vegas weather isn’t a great mix, even with the low 15* base timing (it’s less in hot weather) and rich AFR mixture .

💪 We pulled the LS3 engine, tore it down, turned it into a 416ci (6.8 Liter) stroker motor. Using our TAP forged, balanced rotating assembly, Mahle forged dished piston, King XP bearings, BTR Red hot cam, all machine work done in house, heads valve job, milled with upgraded valves and spring kit.

🥶 We also installed a Dewitt’s radiator with built in oil coolers, and fan setup. Ditched the factory fan PWM module and wiring. Built a wiring harness far traditional 3 relay/fuse setup, controlled by the factory ECU like it was stock. Keeps reliable power for fans to run at max speed without worry. Cheaper to service.

🥲 Maxed out the 60lb injectors that come with the Magnuson kit with the big pulley on 91 @ 4psi. Still enough to party if you watch the video. Looking forward to an upgraded fuel system and more boost in the future!

💨🍃 Chopping on a windy day in @danielquilees cammed GMC Yukon!

⚙️ Customer brought us his 5.3 engine for a rebuild. We tore the motor down, cleaned it, machined it, cleaned it again, assembled with Mahle forged/coated pistons, King XP bearings, TSP chopacobra cam, and so much more. All machining, assembly, tuning done in house.

⚙️ Paired with a @torque_converter_rebuilders 4L70 transmission and converter. Trans shifts smooth and converter pairs well with the application.

💻 When tuning both engine and transmission, we see the last tuners $800 tune where he just hack-jobbed a PE table and removed all the intake air timing protection. No transmission or fuel map tuning. Wonder why the engine and transmission failed in the 1st place? Anyway, this Yukon is back on the road, and can take him and his family wherever they want to go.

🙋🏻‍♂️If you’re looking for engine, install, and tuning, Call or Message TAP!

🟡 2007 Corvette ZO6 with the 7.0 LS7 engine came to us with a nasty tick. They had already tried replacing lifters with no luck. Brought it to TAP for a new short block. Using Callie’s crankshaft, TAP H-Beam Rods, Mahle forged/coated pistons, & King XP race bearings. Everything else GM factory parts. Balanced and machined in house. Video is what we found on tear down, and first start with the new engine.

💻 The car had an aftermarket air intake & MAF housing. Factory LS7 tunes are excessively rich and high on timing. So, we gave her the ol’ TAP Tunerino. Smoother driving experience and fixed a bad surge at idle. Still “fat and happy” rich with safe timing.

🏎️After the car left, the owner did his 500 mile break-in, drove the car to Texas, competed in an auto cross event, beat his best time, & drove it back to Las Vegas.

🙋🏻‍♂️Looking for a shop you can trust with your Gen III - IV - V, LS & LT engines? Give TAP a call or message.

🌚2009 Pontiac G8 came to us needing some love. We re-built the 6.2 LS3 it had in it using the TAP recipe: forged piston, the right cam for the application, and so much more. We had to replace a lot of missing parts and incorrect bolts along the way. We found a lot of damaged/poorly repaired wiring and fixed it also. We added a TAP catch can and did a lot of little tricks to clean up these Holden engine bays. After everything was repaired correctly, we were able to give it a TAP tune before sending. Car is running great. Fast and reliable.
