Tapout Now Offering Carbon Fiber Driveshafts!

You know what’s cool? Carbon Fiber. You know what’s cooler? Carbon Fiber Driveshafts from Tapout! Over the past several months we have been working with The Driveshaft Shop to develop a premium carbon fiber driveshaft that is both lighter than stock and more torsional than the factory steel driveshaft.

We decided to offer a carbon fiber driveshaft over the alternative of aluminum as it will support higher speeds for both M6 and A8 ATS-V’s; up to 200 mph! And because carbon fiber tubes are more torsional than aluminum they can twist more under load. This allows for smoother transfer of power at launch and between shifts. Better yet, these carbon fiber driveshafts are easily capable of supporting upwards of 1,000 horsepower. We love pushing this platform further and we couldn’t be happier to have a driveshaft that can support our goals!

Gigs Performance Ported Throttle Body from Tapout!

Do you want a way to easily add more power to your ATS-V that requires no additional tuning? You bet you do, because who wouldn’t want that? That’s why Tapout Tuning is happy to announce that we will be offering the Gigs Performance Ported Throttle Body!

We dyno tested this ported throttle body and saw gains of 10 to 15 whp across most of the powerband. We would expect to see even bigger gains on higher boost/horsepower applications. And it gets better; this throttle body only costs about half as much as an intake, produces more power and requires no additional tuning!

The first production run will begin shipping by April 28th, 2020 on a first come, first serve basis.

Tapout Tune of the Week!

Taking precautionary measures is important, especially when tuning ATS-V’s. We could easily send out tunes one after the other with the same exact formula. However, we have been around the block a time or two and understand that worthwhile accomplishments are seldom easy.

A perfect example of this is the ATS-V’s intercooler. Even if you just had you car in for service there’s no guarantee that something isn’t amiss. We were reviewing data logs for Deron of D3 Motorsports in Texas and saw that his intercooler was not properly functioning. Before proceeding with his Remote Tune we identified that issue so there was no chance of potential damage. “That was fixed and after installing the tune we had such a great time with the car. It outperformed my expectations and made a lot of people think twice about messing with us on the rally we were on!” Deron said. Tapout is here to make your ATS-V a force to be reckoned with, and we don’t take that responsibility lightly.

Tapout Helps Prevent Misfires!

In high-boost applications such as your Tapout Tuned ATS-V, dielectric grease becomes exceedingly important when it comes to your spark plugs. While this isn’t as relevant in non-boosted applications, the tuned LF4 needs to have the coil boot ends filled with dielectric grease. This ensures that you have the conductive portion of the spark plug completely covered to prevent misfires under boost.

You don’t need to worry about the dielectric grease insulating the spark plug from the coil pack electrical connector. Its spring loaded and designed to make a mechanical connection, which then serves to ensure the electrical connection. The dielectric grease acts as a barrier to prevent electrical current from “leaking” through.

We recently had a customer who started to experience similar misfires after completing his tune. He installed new colder plugs and also used the dielectric grease we provided but was still experiencing misfires.

After speaking with him further we determined that while he did use dielectric grease, he was not using enough of it. We let him know that the coil boot ends needed to be completely filled for proper results. After adding more dielectric grease all his misfires issues were resolved and his ATS-V is running like a dream!

That is precisely why Tapout provides not only a packet of dielectric grease with every spark plug purchase, but also a packet of anti-seize so that your plugs are easy to remove the next time you need to change them. Remember we’re here to help advance this platform; let’s get better together!

He had the knowledge I was looking for.” We’re extremely confident in our knowledge of the ATS-V and are serious about expert tuning. Our results speak for themselves; just take a look at the official quarter mile times.  So if your’re serious about improving your ATS-V’s performance, you know where to find us.
