Topic: Aftermarket tach with shift light?
Give me some opinions about aftermarket tachs and shift lights.
We've got a quarter million mile engine, with a water pump impeller design that is known (according to enthusiast boards) to cavitate and not flow well over 6000rpm (redline ~7K). We want to short-shift to keep the revs low and improve our chance of finishing from "candy bar in Kirste Alley's hand" to "snowball's chance in hell"
5" tachs with BIG ASS shift lights are $50 on craigslist.
One team member thinks it's a waste of money; use the stock tach.
One team member thinks a BIG ASS tach and shift light will encourage/remind the driver not to let the revs get too high.
One team member doesn't care.
Thoughts?
