Our Tachs are slow--
When I test drove the stroker a couple of days ago Joe Vinci rode with me with the tech II hooked up to check to see if it was pulling any timing--I WOT from 2K to 6K in third and he noticed how far the tach was behind the actual R's I'm glad I have a shift light and even happier about having a rev limiter--my blower motor revved even quicker no wonder I would hit the limit when I didn't think I should have, Joe told me their nos c5 did the same thing so I don't know if this happens in a more or less stock setup (are there any out there, oh you must have just bought it) but on the more powerful motors this may be a very common occurance--did I spell that right, hell we need a spelling checker on this thing-I've grown helpless without one--

Re: Our Tachs are slow-- (NEPTUNEBILL)
Well like I said it makes you glad you have a rev limiter--I havn't noticed the diff in the hud and dash i will have to check it out--just what I need one of those big chrome tach's mounted in my car for gods sake--I wonder if there is an upgrade for the sending unit--I think my shift light is right on however that is a saving grace as well---

Re: Our Tachs are slow-- (J-Rod)
I've got the same setup, when the blower was in it revved way fast and no way the tach was keeping up, I guess the only thing they are really good for at this point is to check your idle--
