All of you are looking at this the wrong way!! He's got this huge high-rev tach that's out of place right? Why not give this poor tach a PURPOSE in life, and change your ENGINE to match! Your stock tach just doesn't do it when you're revving to 7200rpm. Time for valvetrain upgrades!

some people are just hard headed i guess. i have a 5" tach and shift light. its faster than the stock tach and more accurate. plus the way my steering wheel is half the tach i cant see on the dash.

I've got one and it helps you focus on the road cause the tach is not behind the steering wheel. Besides the stock tach is slow as hell.

The tach is really slow, I reved my car up and touched the rev limiter faster than what the tach read out....
