Tapout Tune of the Week!

Much like chaos never sleeps, we really don’t either. It’s important to us that we are able to make the tune modifications you need day and night. That way you can be back on the road kickin’ ass and takin’ names with all the new mods you’re running.

One of our favorite things is working with customer who have been driving their ATS-V stock for quite some time and decide they’re finally ready for a tune. Billy in Texas had owned his ATS-V for a couple years when he heard about Tapout and decided the time was right. We worked with Billy to tune his car remotely and were also fortunate enough to get a chance to work with him in person. “He [Scott] showed up at a track day near me and proceeded to spend the whole day refining my tune and the tunes of half a dozen other racers, in between drag runs”. We’re drag racers at heart, and anytime we can be there on the track to help others out you better believe we’re going to do it!

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!

Tapout Tune of the Week!

They say knowledge is power, and in Tapout’s case you can take that literally. Our in-depth knowledge of the ATS-V platform allows us to provide you with a remote tune that significantly increases the power and performance capabilities of your ATS-V.

Justin from New Jersey knew Tapout was the right company for the job after his initial conversation with us. “When I first talked to Scott regarding a Tapout Tune I knew he was the one for this platform. 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.

Tapout Tune of the Week!

Get the job done and get it done right. That should be a motto everyone lives by, and it’s one we follow closely at Tapout Tuning. John in Florida went with Tapout based on our reputation and he was not disappointed with the results. John wrote, “His response time, knowledge and diligence to get the tune right for what he customer wants was better than expected…and my expectations were high based on other customer testimonials.”

It’s a simple motto we follow and it has proven to be effective time and time again. And John said it himself, “Scott leaves everyone in the rear view mirror…just like my V does!”
