Tapout LPFP Props up Weak ATS-V Fuel Systems!

One of the weak links in the ATS-V is the stock fuel system.  Although adequate for OEM boost levels, once you crank that boost up many ATS-Vs end up having fuel systems that can’t keep up with demand. In some cases, the HPFP ends up sucking the LPFP dry thus entering the danger zone.

Paul from Florida has a 2016 ATS-V A8 with intake, BOVs, spark plugs and exhaust and 32,000 miles on the clock.  With his previous aftermarket tune he was running dangerously lean which he discovered while on a dyno. Once he learned that he immediately switched to Tapout.  The new Tapout Tune is much safer and he likes it better than the tune he ran before.  However, now that his air/fuel ratio has been corrected we can see how the stock fuel system is not able to keep up with demand.  Check out the blue and yellow traces in the scan below.

With this newly found information Paul decided to install a Tapout LP fuel pump.  The following scan was taken one day after the above scan, with no other hardware or tune changes.  It’s very clear how much more stable, safe and reliable his fuel system is now.  Notice how both the low- and high-pressure sides have improved just from replacing the LP pump alone.

The Tapout LP fuel pump is an excellent product that solves an annoying problem on this platform.  It is affordable, relatively simple to install and can show immediate fuel system volume capabilities on tuned ATS-Vs. Every day we are looking for ways to make the ATS-V better, and we’re proud to offer proven products like this.

Congratulations to Justin Schmidt!

Tapout would like to congratulate Justin Schmidt for setting a new Stock ATS-V quarter mile record at Cecil County Dragway on Friday evening. On a night with no track prep he attacked the rankings and laid down an 11.404 @ 127.69 mph! Justin was running street tires on his 2016 ATS-V M6 sedan with a full race weight of 3,970 pounds. His car has no hardware modifications of any kind, just some octane booster and a Tapout Remote Tune.

Tapout tuned ATS-Vs now hold both first and second place in the Stock ATS-V category. One has an A8 transmission and the other an M6. If you’re looking for an ATS-V tune that produces real results, backed by customer service no one can match, drop us a line.

Congratulations to Justin Schmidt for Setting a New Personal Best Time!

Tapout would like to congratulate Justin Schmidt for setting a new personal best time at Cecil County Dragway! Justin ran 10.783 @ 130.54 mph in his 2016 ATS-V M6 sedan with a full race weight of 3,970 pounds.

Justin did no weight reductions whatsoever and didn’t even change tires at the track. This is a legitimate 10-second street car no matter how you look at it.

Justin’s new best time moves him up to the number one spot in the Modified Category, with only octane boost, drag radials and Tapout Remote Tune. He is also ranked number seven overall.
