If you can’t wait for the new Cadillac ATS-V, or you simply want a few extra ponies out of your run-of-the-mill ATS, then ZZPerformance has your back. The tuning company is developing multiple tuning kits for the ATS, although ZZP doesn’t mention which engine(s) these kits are for – we’re going to go out on a limb and guess the kits are designed for the ATS 2.0T.
- Performance Stage 1: ZZP lists its Stage 1 kit as bringing the ATS’s horsepower up to an even 300, a 28-horsepower bump over the 2.0T’s factory rating. A cold air intake and high flow downpipe are included in the kit, and the motor is also converted to run on E85 fuel.
- Performance Stage 2: Building on the Stage 1 kit, the Stage 2 adds an upgraded front-mount intercooler, new brake kit, and high flow cat-back exhaust system. With an even more aggressive dyno tune, the Stage 2 is expected to cajole 375 horses from the 2.0T ATS.
- Performance Stage 3: If all goes to plan, the Stage 3 kit will bring the ATS into M3 territory. With 450 horsepower coming courtesy of a ZFR V2 turbo, custom exhaust manifold, Mega Flow turbo-back exhaust, and even more extensive dyno tuning, the Stage 3 kit is Christmas-come-early for Cadillac fans too impatient to wait for the ATS-V.
- ZZ-Spec Performance Package: The granddaddy of the ZZP packages, the company is keeping the details of this one under locks. We’re interested to know what makes this package tick, as ZZP claims customers who purchase it will be treated to over 600 horsepower. Consider our curiosity piqued.

Make me a pack that bolts onto the 3.6L and I’d be even more interested.
Just buy your own intake, headers, and exhaust. When it comes to exhaust on a V6, especially GM’s/ that 3.6, you want to find the exhaust that best suits the sound you are hoping for and not end up a raspy mess. When I had my CTS I ended up putting a CTS-V exhaust on it with Volant CAI, it wasn’t the loudest or deepest (and was free from a V owner, bonus), but it wasn’t (as) raspy as something from Borla/Corsa/Magna. X pipe in place of reso is something to play with.
Are any of these emission legal. And will it run on 91 octane gas if you can’t find E-85?
idk I would be a bit wary about voiding my warranty
I wonder what MPG #s this bad boy would get.
These guys build big power with 3.8 v6s and have a 90hp fwd monster ! I love these guys fab work. They turned a unibody into a full.tube chassis street legal grand prix nascar !!
