Tapout Stage 2 Valvesprings and Retainers!

LF4/LF3 engines start to experience valve float around 6,000 rpm at high boost levels. Stronger valvesprings will eliminate this problem, in addition to allowing larger aftermarket camshafts to be run safely.

Our Tapout Stage 2 Valvesprings and Retainers kit are the perfect drop-in replacements to solve this and require no modification to your cylinder heads. These kits were developed in conjunction with Cal Smith of Caddy Issues and will work perfectly with our Tapout Stage 2 camshafts.

However, if you would just like to update your valvesprings, our Stage 2 kit will also work just fine with your OEM cams or our Mace Stage 1 cams. It’s up to you how you want to customize your ATS-V, so build it the way you want it! We’re always here to answer questions, so never hesitate to call or email us and we can help you accomplish all of your ATS-V goals!

Our Good Friend Brian’s Dyno Tune!

Our good friend Brian drove in to the Tapout Tuning Headquarters all the way from Florida for a carbon fiber driveshaft and custom dyno tune. He has been running our Purple Belt Performance Package for nearly a year and really wanted to maximize his power.

Brian was actually our very first dyno tune customer in May 2018 before we had our own dyno. At that time Brian’s ATS-V made 477 whp on our standard Tapout Tune. Fast forward to today and Brian’s car made 612 whp and 627 wtq using SAE correction on E72 fuel! We’ve come a long way in those three years and we continue to improve every day.

We offer the highest quality parts, tuning and installations so if you’re looking to step things up on your own ATS-V, you know where to find us.

Great Turnout for our Tapout Dyno Day!

Our 2021 Dyno Day was a huge success and we want to thank everyone who made it out! It was a day full of tuning, conversation and great friends who all share a passion for the ATS-V! And we had friends and their ATS-Vs drive all the way from Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Ohio!

It was great to have so many ATS-Vs together in one spot because in Ohio you just don’t seem to see them very often. We shared stories, discussed mods, tuning, future plans and had some good ole fashioned BBQ together. It’s amazing the comradery that builds between people working towards a common goal. We all want the ATS-V platform to continue to advance and it’s thanks to this amazing community that we have been able to make this happen!

Chris Tetsos Resets ATS-V World Records!

Our good friend Chris made it to the track again on Friday, and was able to get three passes in before it started raining.  He ran 9.46, 9.47 and 9.49 @ 144.2 mph, with all three times beating the previous ATS-V world record!  Chris also bestest his previous best 60 to 130 mph Dragy time with a 5.42 second pull!

We receive a constant stream of emails and messages asking about Chris’ mod list and parts pricing.  He runs our Brown Belt Performance Package, Tapout remote tune, E85 fuel, some weight reduction and drag wheels and tires.  The Brown Belt package hasn’t been officially released yet.  It’s made up of our Purple Belt Performance Package, plus Caddy Issues turbochargers, ARP head studs, Tapout camshafts, valve springs and retainers.  Purple Belt mods run ~ $4,100, and Brown Belt will most likely cost an additional $8,300.  So total cost is approximately $12,400, or less if you already have some mods in place.

We can’t wait to see what Chris and other Tapout Brown Belt Performance Package cars will do once we turn them up all the way and catch some good racing weather later in the season.  Join us as we work together to put an ATS-V into the nines by end of this year.

New World Records from Tapout Tuning!

Congratulations to Chris Tetsos – More World Records!

Chris from Ontario has already held the ATS-V 60 to 130 mph record of 5.53 seconds for the last three months.  Now he holds the ATS-V eighth and quarter mile records as well!

Chris made five quarter mile passes this weekend at Toronto Motorsports Park, and we turned the boost up a little more with each pass.

  1. 48     6.42 @ 109.3 mph     10.03 @ 136.9 mph
  2. 40     6.23 @ 111.7 mph       9.75 @ 139.7 mph
  3. 40     6.14 @ 113.7 mph       9.61 @ 142.1 mph
  4. 38     6.12 @ 114.6 mph       9.56 @ 143.2 mph

At this point there was a storm coming in and they turned off all track electronics due to the threat of lightning after Chris’ fourth pass.  He went ahead and made his fifth pass anyways using Dragy, which was proven to be extremely accurate.

5.     40     6.05 @ 115.0 mph       9.45 @ 144.3 mph

We have received countless emails and messages lately requesting the mod list, details and parts pricing for this car.  Chris runs the Tapout Brown Belt Performance Package, Tapout remote tune, E85 fuel, some weight reduction and drag wheels and tires.  The Brown Belt package hasn’t been officially released yet.  However, it consists of our Purple Belt Performance Package, plus Caddy Issues turbochargers, ARP head studs, Tapout camshafts, valve springs and retainers.  Purple Belt mods run ~ $4,100, and Brown Belt will most likely cost an additional $8,300.  So total cost is approximately $12,400, or less if you already have some mods in place.

Chris did all the installation work himself.  Jorge Munoz and Jeremy Stillman also deserve tons of credit for all the excellent guidance and advice they provided remotely, late into the nights.

We are really excited to see what Chris and other Tapout Brown Belt Performance Package cars can do once we turn them up all the way.  Follow us as we shoot for eight second quarter mile times later this year.  If you’re not a believer yet, just step aside so we can get the job done.
