Where to put Monster Tach?

Where would the monster tach look best? ON the left or right of the steering wheel? Pictures would be a great help.. I've already done a search and all the pictures are expired..

Thanks,
Justin

In the trash or on a DX civic where the tach isn't present... why do you want to put a monster tach in? Why not just put a shift light in and save the money and redundance factor?

The stock Tach isn't very accurate for one he might need it, if he switched cams.

I'd put in a for sale section of a Mustang forum. Get a shiftlight.

Exactly, a shiftlight which is wired straight to the PCM, just like any other tach you would get, and that's about as accurate as you're gonna get RPM-wise.

a shift light only lets you know when to shift under wot a accurate tach is a very nice thing to have when you have a built motor(or any motor really) doing other stuff then just drag racing its kinnda nice to motor you engine speed
but unless you already have the tach and you are doing more then just drag racing get a 3-3/4"tach there almost a perfect size IMO and theres a couple out that that only go up to 8,000RPM which is nice
