OG Fuel Solutions Stage 2 LPFP!

We are happy to announce that we are now offering a stage 2 LPFP from OG Fuel Solutions! This pump is what we recommend with our Brown Belt Packages, or our Purple Belt Packages if you’re looking to run straight E85 and/or add extra padding to your fuel system. While our Stage 1 LPFP is more than adequate for the fueling demands of our Purple Belt, but we won’t stop you if you want to go over the top!

The OG Fuel Solutions Stage 2 LPFP beings with a brand new GM fuel basket and it is modified to fit the highest flowing in-tank pump available. It can support E0 to E99 fuels, in addition to race gas and no special tuning is required for the Stage 2 LPFP. This ‘Frankenpump’ LPFP flows 395 lph (104 gph) at 13.5 VDC. Brown Belt Package cars can now crank things up even more with this added capacity so you and your ATS-V can keep breaking hearts on the street and at the track!

In-House Dyno Tune!

Recently, we worked with Timothy, who had just purchased an ATS-V. It was running a competitor’s tune and was only making 6 pounds of boost. Before making the trip to our shop, he installed our Intercooler Fill/Bleed Kit as a first step. That resolved the low boost issue, however, the car then started to misfire under boost.

Timothy knew he wanted to bring the car to us for a dyno tune, and he scheduled the trip here so we could resolve the existing issues and see what kind of numbers a genuine Tapout Tune could put down. Upon inspection of his plugs, we found they were gapped incorrectly and were not installed with any dielectric grease. We also found the intercooler fill valve/port was leaking, so we replaced it with a new one. We always keep these in stock as they are a common failure point. So with new plugs and fill port installed, along with another fill/bleed session, we got Timothy’s ATS-V on the dyno where it made 502 whp. That’s up from the 458 whp that we baselined the car at before making any tuning edits.

After the test drive, we knew Timothy couldn’t have been any happier with the results. Though he did say he will be back next year to upgrade to the Purple Belt Package!

Moving up to the Purple Belt Package!

Last year, Michael from Indiana stopped in for our Blue Belt Performance Package. He loved the gains he saw in his ATS-V and how much fun the car was to drive. Before leaving our shop, he let us know he would definitely be back the following year for our Purple Belt Performance Package.

Sure enough, Michael returned this month for just that! And of course we always love having M6 cars in the shop too (#savethemanuals). After completing the installation of all of the fuel system upgrades needed to support the ability to run E85, we got Michael’s ATS-V strapped down to the dyno. Not long after, we had a very smooth powerband peaking at 608 whp and 610 whp running E49 fuel, while still using the factory airbox. We look forward to seeing Michael again next year when he steps up to the Brown Belt Package and joins the 700 whp club!
