Default Gauge Question

Hey, I have a question that some of you guys might be able to answer....In my vette..and in all C4 vettes the TACH only turns to 6 thousand....Well normally this is not a problem but I turn my engine harder than that :D I do not want to put in a big 5 inch tach with a ricer shift light. Is there any other gauge options out there hopefully keeping the gauges in the stock location.

Thanks again

The ZR-1 gauge cluster goes up to 8000 rpms and redline's obviously adjusted since the Zs redlined higher. It might be a job u want professionally done, though it's really not that hard if you know your way around the gauge setup.

OH and btw....trust me....it does NOT look rice.:)
