The The Alta can be used successfully by professional and sportsman racers in all IHRA and NHRA drag racing classes, as well as circle track and road racing teams. The Alta is ideal for the dyno - with it's fan aspirated remote sensor which can be placed to accurately measure intake air, and accurate horsepower correction calculations.
The Alta Standard Features
The Alta is an excellent weatherstation for tuning, racing and dyno work. The fan-aspirated remote sensor housing are mounted above the trailer roof or in the plenum. The remote cable permits flexible setup, with the console located for convenient viewing. The LCD on the console updates every 20 seconds. The console logs data to internal memory, and can be connected to a PC with the included serial cable for downloading and live data display on screen Both 12 volt power cord and 110 supply are included.
