VDO Catalog - Xtreme Gauges

VDO has earned a spot in the cars of winning drivers in NASCAR, IHRA, NHRA, NIRA, SCCA, and just about every other major racing sanction in North America. From the import drag wars, to local dirt ovals, to drag strips and circuit tracks from coast to coast, drivers have learned from race day experience that VDO delivers the reliability, light weight, and top technology that the others just talk about.
Now, VDO blows the competition away with our newest Recording Tachometers, the VDO Xtreme Series. Simply the most advanced, most complete recording tachometers ever built, Xtreme delivers more of the vital information you need to put you across the finish line first!

No other recording tach gives you all these features:
• Playback counts down until time of launch if connected to line lock or trans brake. • Automatic start with connection to line lock or trans brake. • Selectable record times, 90 or 360 seconds per run. • Selectable replay speed, 1/3 slow motion or real time.• Fast forward or rewind during playback.		• Touch control pad can be mounted on left or right side of the tachometer; remote control mounts up to 6 feet from tach with optional kit. • 4 stored replays. • 4 shift point settings. • Compatible with all 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 cylinder applications. • Large, 10mm, internal shift light.

Drag Racers: Use Xtreme to improve every part of your run:
A recording tach should give you the information you need to make your next run faster – but most recording tachs don’t start recording until you’ve left the line. They’re missing vital information that can make or break your runs. VDO’s Xtreme Tach records your RPM before you launch, RPM at stall speed and RPM for the entire race to help you get faster in every phase of your run.
• BURNOUT – Monitor RPM and duration of burnout to achieve consistent tire temperatures and more predictable launches. • STAGING – Monitor RPM to control tire and clutch slippage and optimize your launch.		• RUN – Monitor RPM & shift points. Set up to 4 individual shift points. • POST RACE – Check accuracy of shifts, under/over revving, tire or clutch slippage, and peak RPM by playing back in slow motion and real time.

Circle Track Racers: Use Xtreme to improve your car’s performance:
Xtreme lets you record up to 24 minutes of racing for post-race analysis by the driver and crew.
•Enough memory for time trials, warmups, heats, and all or part of the feature race. • Shows high RPM to help set up gearing. • Shows low RPM to help maximize corner speeds.		• Shows tire spin coming out of the corners. • Shows engine’s entire RPM range, lap after lap, for comparison with designed power band.

Mega-Lite features 8 highly visible LED lights and mounts easily on tach, roll bar, or dash. While filament-bulb shift lights need time to warm up, Mega-Lite responds instantly. Set the light intensity switch on high for daytime, or low or off for nighttime. The low setting eliminates the need for diffuser covers. Hooks up easily to the VDO Xtreme and Eliminator Series Tachs, or any MSD-activated switch.
