Gautam’s Purple Belt Performance Package Installation!

Gautam made the drive to the Tapout Tuning Headquarters from northern Ohio so we could install our immensely popular Purple Belt Performance Package. His ATS-V was sporting an M6 transmission which we love to see and man did his car look good with the wheels and ground effects he was running!

After we completed the installation we got his ATS-V set up on our dyno so we could provide a refined tune to maximize the newly available power from our top quality parts. We made several pulls to ensure that Gautam’s ATS-V was running safely and ramped things up so it produced peak power of 610 whp and 614 wtq on E57 fuel!

You want to make big power? It’s as simple as installing our Purple Belt Package, really that’s it! You’re going to leave just about everyone on the road behind before they even know what hit them.

Circle D Torque Converters from Tapout!

For those of you with an A8 ATS-V that have been looking for your dream torque converter, look no further. We spent the last year working with Circle D to develop a Pro Series 245 mm. torque converter specifically designed for the ATS-V!

Some converter companies can take the easy way out and change impeller angles dramatically. This loosens up the converter and reduces overall efficiency across the entire powerband. Circle D, however, developed a CFD-designed billet stator to manipulate the stall speed and coupling points. This design includes a billet front cover, triple lockup clutch, billet apply piston, heat treated steel splines, and furnace brazed/hand tig welded fins!

You can expect flash stall speeds to be about 4,000 rpm. Full streetability and lockup features are retained so this is the perfect torque converter upgrade for the street and track use! After all, if you’re going to improve your performance at the track, you should improve your performance on the drive there too.

Gigs Ported Throttle Body Weekend Sale!

We just got in a BIG shipment of Gigs Performance Ported Throttle Bodies and we’re ready to ship them out to you! Now through Sunday only, get $50 off this quality product that provides proven gains!

These are brand new factory units that are ported and polished by Gigs performance and are a great option as opposed to an intake. That’s because the Gigs Throttle Body costs about half as much, produces excellent power gains per dollar spent (see dyno chart), and no additional tuning is required!

Our dyno testing has shown increases of 10 to 15 whp across most of the powerband from 4,900 to 6,400 rpm with no tuning. We would expect to see even more on higher boost/horsepower applications as well. It’s a plug and play easy installation that can be completed with basic tools in about an hour or less. So don’t wait any longer, there’s more power to be made!

Joe’s Purple Belt Performance Package!

Joe lives a few miles from our shop and just purchased his ATS-V from someone in Texas. When he bought the car it had already been tuned by someone else, so we did a baseline Dyno pull on the existing pump gas tune to see where he was starting at. His ATS-V made respectable peak power of 498 whp and 490 wtq on 93-octane fuel.

With no changes other than our custom tuning, we improved his numbers to 518 whp and 555 wtq. That’s 20 more whp and 65 more wtq than the previous tuner could provide! We then completed several fuel system upgrades to bring him up to our Purple Belt Performance Package. After adding some ethanol to the tank we created our Flex Fuel Tune for an E50 fuel mix. Final results were 604 whp and 628 whp with a much improved powerband! That just goes to show that ATS-Vs love ethanol, and they really love proper tuning.

SPEC Clutches for the ATS-V!

We spent all of last year working with multiple manufacturers in an attempt to design an aftermarket clutch for the M6 ATS-Vs. In one case a manufacturer’s clutch wouldn’t fully disengage, and in another the clutch was operational, but it had poor manners on the street. We were not comfortable selling that so we went back to the drawing board.

This year we began working with SPEC Clutch, a high end clutch manufacturer where one of our good friends actually shipped their ATS-V to them for several weeks of research and development. After some extensive testing we now have several excellent clutches we are proud to bring to the ATS-V market.

These SPEC clutches are single mass with aluminum flywheels and are 30 pounds lighter than the stock ATS-V clutch! Not only that, these clutches are also very street friendly to drive and are twin disc like OEM with upgraded 8-1/2″ Lamborghini/BMW units! That means you can be making ALL the power and still enjoy driving your V on the street. We have three different clutches to offer supporting 650, 880, and 1,025 wtq so we’ve got you covered no matter what kind of power you’re making!
