CT4 V Blackwing Tuning Package Development Continues

We just wanted to give you a little taste of what we’ve been doing with our CT4-V Blackwing…..

100% OEM drivability aspects have been maintained below 3,500 rpm. Above 70 to 80% accelerator pedal position, things are starting to get ridiculously FUN!

At WOT in Track mode, the A10 cars upshift between 6,400 and 6,500 rpm, so you’re always running between 4,700 and 6,500 rpm. We have significantly modified the powerband between 4,000 and 6,500 rpm to cover both the A10 and M6 cars.

Tuning is nearly complete. We just have a few more details left to resolve. All details of our CT4-V Blackwing Performance Packages will be announced in the near future.

Remote Tuning Using Just your Cell Phone!

We are very excited to announce that we are now offering a remote tuning solution that doesn’t require a laptop! That’s right, you can now data log, and/or change tunes at the track or the street using just your smart phone.

Our new Tapout Tuning RTD Module plugs into your OBD2 port just the same way a standard HP Tuners unit does. You just need to download the free Tune Delivery Network (TDN) app on your smartphone and set up an account. What’s even better is that the RTD supports VCM Scanner so you can still do scans, logs and even check for DTCs on your laptop.

That’s the kind of flexibility that allows you to change tunes at a moment’s notice if you left the house without a laptop and even helps you save a little weight at the track!

SPEC Clutches for the ATS-V!

We spent all of last year working with multiple manufacturers in an attempt to design an aftermarket clutch for the M6 ATS-Vs. In one case a manufacturer’s clutch wouldn’t fully disengage, and in another the clutch was operational, but it had poor manners on the street. We were not comfortable selling that so we went back to the drawing board.

This year we began working with SPEC Clutch, a high end clutch manufacturer where one of our good friends actually shipped their ATS-V to them for several weeks of research and development. After some extensive testing we now have several excellent clutches we are proud to bring to the ATS-V market.

These SPEC clutches are single mass with aluminum flywheels and are 30 pounds lighter than the stock ATS-V clutch! Not only that, these clutches are also very street friendly to drive and are twin disc like OEM with upgraded 8-1/2″ Lamborghini/BMW units! That means you can be making ALL the power and still enjoy driving your V on the street. We have three different clutches to offer supporting 650, 880, and 1,025 wtq so we’ve got you covered no matter what kind of power you’re making!

Chris Tetsos Resets ATS-V World Records!

Our good friend Chris made it to the track again on Friday, and was able to get three passes in before it started raining. He ran 9.46, 9.47 and 9.49 @ 144.2 mph, with all three times beating the previous ATS-V world record! Chris also bestest his previous best 60 to 130 mph Dragy time with a 5.42 second pull!

We receive a constant stream of emails and messages asking about Chris’ mod list and parts pricing. He runs our Brown Belt Performance Package, Tapout remote tune, E85 fuel, some weight reduction and drag wheels and tires. The Brown Belt package hasn’t been officially released yet. It’s made up of our Purple Belt Performance Package, plus Caddy Issues turbochargers, ARP head studs, Tapout camshafts, valve springs and retainers. Purple Belt mods run ~ $4,100, and Brown Belt will most likely cost an additional $8,300. So total cost is approximately $12,400, or less if you already have some mods in place.

We can’t wait to see what Chris and other Tapout Brown Belt Performance Package cars will do once we turn them up all the way and catch some good racing weather later in the season. Join us as we work together to put an ATS-V into the nines by end of this year.

New World Records from Tapout Tuning!

Congratulations to Chris Tetsos – More World Records!

Chris from Ontario has already held the ATS-V 60 to 130 mph record of 5.53 seconds for the last three months. Now he holds the ATS-V eighth and quarter mile records as well!

Chris made five quarter mile passes this weekend at Toronto Motorsports Park, and we turned the boost up a little more with each pass.

48 6.42 @ 109.3 mph 10.03 @ 136.9 mph
40 6.23 @ 111.7 mph 9.75 @ 139.7 mph
40 6.14 @ 113.7 mph 9.61 @ 142.1 mph
38 6.12 @ 114.6 mph 9.56 @ 143.2 mph

At this point there was a storm coming in and they turned off all track electronics due to the threat of lightning after Chris’ fourth pass. He went ahead and made his fifth pass anyways using Dragy, which was proven to be extremely accurate.

5. 40 6.05 @ 115.0 mph 9.45 @ 144.3 mph

We have received countless emails and messages lately requesting the mod list, details and parts pricing for this car. Chris runs the Tapout Brown Belt Performance Package, Tapout remote tune, E85 fuel, some weight reduction and drag wheels and tires. The Brown Belt package hasn’t been officially released yet. However, it consists of our Purple Belt Performance Package, plus Caddy Issues turbochargers, ARP head studs, Tapout camshafts, valve springs and retainers. Purple Belt mods run ~ $4,100, and Brown Belt will most likely cost an additional $8,300. So total cost is approximately $12,400, or less if you already have some mods in place.

Chris did all the installation work himself. Jorge Munoz and Jeremy Stillman also deserve tons of credit for all the excellent guidance and advice they provided remotely, late into the nights.

We are really excited to see what Chris and other Tapout Brown Belt Performance Package cars can do once we turn them up all the way. Follow us as we shoot for eight second quarter mile times later this year. If you’re not a believer yet, just step aside so we can get the job done.
