Default HUD position adjustments

Hey guy's, other than the adjuster on the left side of the dash is there any way to adjust the HUD screen so that it can be lifted up towards the center of the windshied more, when drag racing or going through the gears hard it seems by the time I take my eyes off the road to look down at my RPM's on the HUD I'm hitting the rev limiter.

Don't think so but maybe. There is a small screen imbeeded in the W/S that reflects the HUD.

No other adjustments are possible, without removing the HUD and resetting it at a different angle in the dash.

My guess would be if it were to go any higher on the winshield, it likely would not work well visually/clarity-wise. As you go up the winshield its actually getting closer to the driver and away from the HUD Screen position on the dash.

The reason it is so low is because of safety and the law. You can't have anything block your view out the windshield.

I would suggest getting a rapter shift light. It will get your attention without taking your eyes off the road and you can set the rpm when it lights up so you know where you're at.
