tachometer Hello all.
I just posted in the new section to say hi, now I thought I'd come over here to ask a question.
I just picked up an '02 Trans Am 6 speed a few months ago. It's stock except for the skip shift bypass mod. As I got used to it, I noticed the tach response was lagging behind the engine acceleration. Is this common, and what can be done to fix it?
Thanks,
John

Cool. thanks for the input, guys.
Here's another question. What type/brand tach is recommended, and where do you mount it? Also, do you need to run a wire thru the firewall to the coil(s)?
I'm asking this because on my 72 cutlass, I mounted a tach under the dash next to an aftermarket gauge set. I ran a wire to the coil. I put the tach under the dash on the cutlass because I like the clean stock look, also it's an auto tranny, so i don't worry about over-revving.
But, the trans am is a stick, and things are happening a lot quicker when I'm getting on it. I'd like the tach to be in my line of sight as I'm watching the road. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John
