Now that stronger clutches are available in this market, we are proud to announce a new feature which is included with all Tapout Tunes for M6 cars. When you put your car in first gear the ECM knows you’re in first and applies the first gear rev limiter. We have programmed a different rev limiter when you’re in first gear and push the clutch all the way to the floor. This gives us the ability to hold the accelerator and clutch pedals to the floor at the starting line and launch at whatever engine speed we want.

At the track this rev limiter will actually build boost as the lights come down. This means we can now launch our M6 cars under boost! Initially we have this set to 6,000 rpm, which works amazingly well if you slip the clutch with drag radials. By the way, we have already taken the liberty to rewrite all existing M6 customer tunes, and updates were emailed to everyone at no charge. This is just one more way we work to make sure your driving experience the best it can be, and we’re not going to stop because it’s a #TapoutTakeover!

We were back on the dyno last week as our HPFP testing and validation continued. These numbers were on E74 fuel with turbochargers cranked all the way up. We continue to make steady progress and on this day of testing  we picked up another 10 plus whp.

If you check out our dyno chart at TapouTuning.com you’ll see that we are continually improving the tune on our own ATS-V as we learn more about the car. Every time we go to the dyno we find more power, and that’s going to continue to happen. Customers with one of our Tuning Subscriptions benefit from our research by getting free tune updates every time we unlock more power. There’s nothing that excites us more than being able to push the ATS-V further, and we are excited to share these advancements with you!
