Nitrous panel and line lock down in front of shifter as well. New tach is the sport comp II mini-monster

 

Not to be mean, but I absolutely do not see the point in that.

Do either of you race? The factory tach is off by 300 rpms and the shift light is there to hit the mark consistently. If you dont race then you dont understand. Its a smaller tach mounted where it doesnt impede vision.

 

have you guys never pushed your car or what??? its so noticable the factory tach is behind. im planning on doing this very soon as i keep hitting the rev limiter before it even reaches redline on the tach.

 

I race my car AND am well aware of the slow tach.

...and I agree with the other two guys. All you needed was a shift light, or maybe a shift light + one of those little gauge style tachs.

However, I don't care for the look of aftermarket tachs, but some people like them. If you like it, its cool. But I would go out of my way to avoid having a noticeable aftermarket tach.

 

I would like a full set of aftermarket gauges in the cluster (I saw it once or twice... looks pretty cool).

But as far as aftermarket tachs go, that's not bad.

 

i hardly ever watch the tach when i am racing i do alot better by going off feel. but i have thought about getting just a shift light. Really don't like the look of the tach in the car. But hey that is just my 2 cents.

 

a4 = doesnt need the tach

Also i thought the point of a monster tack was to mount it on top of the dash so you could glance at it easier without taking your eyes off the road.

 

what did the tach run you?

P/N??

 

From the looks of it everyone that has posted has a 6 speed

 

and its TACH

 

damn, way to bring down the hammer . it was a joke.

and i know its TACH i just wasnt paying attention. but i fixed it for ya.

Yeah a monster tach provides better vision but usually thats for dedicated race cars. I didnt want a monster tach sitting up on the dash. I wanted it semi close to the factory position and not blocking anything or impeding my vision of the road


If I wanted a tiny little display for the tach I would have gone with a digital.
As it is I use those ltttle square guages for n2o pressure and a wide band coming shortly.

Yes just a shift light would surfice for hitting my shift point but I wanted an accurate tachometer as well. It comes into play a lot more than the casual drivers who responded seem to know. I dont sunday drive in my car its built for performance for a reason.


Funny reaction here in the appearance section. Seems like most of you that repsonded dont have a clue about performance and the reality of it.

While I was at the track Sat night I got a lot of compliments on the look of my car. Even had one guy take a vid of the interior, he loved the tach and is going to do the same.

Honestly I used to feel the same way. Why would anyone go with an aftermarket tach. Then I got into performance and understood why there was a need for it.

 

I think it looks great. I like the looks of aftermarket tachs/guages. I had a monster tach in the same spot on my 68 Nova I had. Looks Good!!!!

 

EXACTLY.

I also felt the same way until I started seeing how inconsistant my shifts were with the logs, even with just a shift light. ESPECIALLY after making my car quicker, the stock tach just can't keep up.

An aftermarket tach will help with the accurate readings to anticipate a shift.

I don't need a "LOOK AT ME I'M AND ATTENTION *****" tach, just something small and simple that gets the job done.

Thanks the info.

 

if you like it keep it and enjoy it. but to me that just looks tacky as hell

 

+1 Yeaaaaaaaaahhh Boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !! WTF!?!?!?!

 

HOWEVER, i do agree with this....

 

The problem is you think we're doing it for "looks", **** that. It's all about function.

But whatever.....
