OK looking at finally getting a tach to put on the car. I have a question I am looking for a nice looking one not too large but simple just a tach not all the other stuff like oil pressure and shit like that. Any one know of a nice looking tach that I can look at or the best place to go to get one? Maybe even a custom one?
Thanks,
Steve O

do they have a web site? I am really looking for one that glows red at night to match the gauge cluster

What's wrong with your stock tach? Are you revving so high that you are burying your stock tachometer? The mods list in your signature does not list any valvetrain upgrades so I hope not.

Monster tachs are ricey, IMO. If your stock tach is really too far out of your way to look at, get a shift light and mount it some place discreet. Inside one of the vents works great.

The reason I want a new tach is that when I am running I like to keep an eye on my boost gauge and its hard to look down at the stock tach to see when to shift so I am looking for something up on the dash thats easier to see.

I bet your car revs quick to. W/ the boost 7K comes quick. I'm thinking about getting one when I boost for the same reason especially when I start building the engine for high pressure. I'd like to be able to watch boost, and RPMs when I drop to 3rd on a 55-60 mph roll :D :D :D
