Default Problems with MSD DIGITAL 6

I installed my digital 6 to get my car ready for the nitrous kit and I hate it.
My tach doesnt work and my service ASR light comes on so I unplugged it. I used the MSD plug in kit to install it so i dont think it is installed wrong, plus the car feels weird at an idle and breaks up at the top of the gears.
What should I do I am going to need it when I get my Nitrous kit next week for the timing retard. Ive tried everything and i dont know what to do.

If anyone has had these problems let me know what you did to fix them
thanks
speedy

This may sound obvious, but check all your settings. Be sure they are all correct. Also, if you have altered your stock rev limiter with a chip or computer re-burn, put the digital box at the same or about 200 rpm higher. Not sure if this is the problem, just throwing it out there.

Did you try bypassing the tach filter? This is a common thing.
