Tire pressure consistency is one of the most important variables a drag racer can control during the tuning process. AirTek Pressure Controls has recently released a system to remove inconsistency and offer repeatable results for the serious racer.
Official Release:
One of the most critically important performance aspects of racing is the most frequently neglected – Tire Pressure. Tire pressure settings can make or break what will happen on the track. AirTek Pressure Controls has addressed the problem with its unique manifold and gauge system and two styles of quick connect fittings for your wheels.
Luke Bogacki used AirTek for all of 2013 en-route to the Super Comp World Championship. The AirTek technology, coupled with their gauge that produces readouts accurate to 1/100th of a pound assures ultra-accurate pressure readings. Once you reach down and plug the couplings together you have a closed loop system that will repeat the pressure readings time after time, no matter who is checking your tire pressure. The hand held manifold allows you to read pressure, bleed pressure, vary the jet size for bleed rate and even add pressure to your tires. In addition – ANY GAUGE with ¼’’ pipe threads which most all gauges have – will work with the AirTek manifold system. One big bonus is being able to do all of those things while you stand up. The two styles of wheel fittings include the screw-on fittings for your existing valve stems which can be installed in just a couple of minutes per wheel. The other option is the bolt-in fitting which replaces the old style valve stems all together. This is our HI-FLO valve that bleeds pressure at three times the rate allowed through the Schrader valve in your current valve stem.
