Dakota Digital SGI-8 + Ls3 480 controller + 90 Camaro Tach Anyone ever wired up a dakatoa digital SGI8 box with an LS3 with the standalone contoller setups?
I can't get the tach to go past 500rpm with the box on any setting on my stock tach.. it just hits the wall there.
Do I need a pullup resistor in this setup?

It puts it out as a 4 cyl signal according to the manual. I need it in an 8 cyl format..
In the old LS controllers you could change a tach value and make it pull out the correct amount based on the tach you were using but I don't have a programmer or know if thats possible with this controller setup so I got the tach box.
I'll try the resistor tricks if I can find some around here

Did a 5k pull up straight off the tach wire and it stays in the same spot and won't go past 500 rpms as I had it with the sgi box. Short of trying an aftermarket tach or a scan tool I don't know at this point..
Maybe the cam sensor is bad or something, I don't get a SES light tho..
Oh well.. theres always next year

Even with the 4cyl mode it should read half and still get past 500rpm.. Flipping the A+C wiring on the cam sensor did nothing but make it start worse. Maybe its the crank sensor
There isn't anyone around here that can do programming or scanning and I sold off my programmers a couple cars back .. I went with a crate engine not to have to fight with programming
Oh well I'll try and find a scanner tool
