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!

Tapout Tune of the Week!

Whether you jump right into our Purple Belt Performance Package or just start with a Tapout Remote Tune, we promise you and your ATS-V are going to be in for a real treat. Everything we do packs a punch while still providing the reliability and Cadillac quality you love.

John in Alabama started off with just a Remote Tune back in 2018. Since then he has moved up to our Purple Belt Performance Package and has been loving it every step of the way. “Without a doubt the best automotive experience, from ordering the parts and shipping the same day to the awesome team and people willing to help solve issues and push a platform forward”. We continue to reinvest back into the community because we know just how capable the ATS-V is. It’s been extremely rewarding to see how far the platform has come, and we’re excited where it will go next!

Tapout Cat-back Exhaust Pre-Orders!

We are extremely excited to announce that we have completed all of the fitment, quality and sound testing of our new cat-back exhaust system! We could not be happier with how everything came out and the sound is just amazing.

The Tapout cat-back exhaust system features true dual 3” 304 stainless steel pipes and the same American made quality fitment and construction as our extremely popular Tapout Downpipes. This exhaust will work perfectly with OEM catalytic converters or Tapout downpipes, and they will fit just as if they were a factory unit. We’ve also completely eliminated the OEM active exhaust valves, and don’t worry that will not set a Check Engine light when unplugged.

Now your ATS-V can look good, perform great, and sound exceptional because we’ve got you covered on every front. We’re excepting pre-orders now and the systems will ship between August 16th and 27th on a first come, first serve basis. So don’t miss your chance to have a truly great sounding ATS-V!

Rodney’s Blue Belt Performance Package!

Rodney made the trip to the Tapout Tuning Headquarters to have us install our Blue Belt Performance Package. He had already beat his friend with a Camaro SS by one car length, but that wasn’t good enough. He wanted to show his friend, and anyone else for that matter that he is not to be messed with!

On his baseline dyno pull Rodney’s ATS-V made 430 whp and 418 wtq, certainly respectable for stock. We completed his Blue Belt installation and after putting his car back on our dyno his V was putting down 505 whp and 493 wtq! Rodney told us he has been loving his Blue Belt Package and is already thinking about stepping it up to our Purple Belt Package!

We also have to give a shoutout to @Klotz Bros Racing. Rodney asked us about aftermarket rims and we knew just who to recommend. They set him up with a bitchin’ set of MRR FS01s in gloss black, check it out!
