I don't like the look of the big huge tachs, so I got a stewart warner digital tach/shift light. It's small and really gets the job done.

I have yet to figure out why anyone would ever need a 5" tachometer.

more accurate, easier to read, plus most have shiftlights to easily tell you when to shift...

I never did like the look of a huge ass tach mounted on the dash of these cars. I want to eventually replace the stock ****ty tach for something better, but have no idea where I would put it.

I never thought I liked the looks of a 5" tach but after having one in my car I couldn't go without one.

Go to MSD and read up on this. Built in shift light. Touchscreen programmable shift point and a little more. These are the gauges I used to use on the Nintendo car games I use to play. This is going to make it into my Stang soon.

I wasnt refering to it actually being hard to see.. but yet confusing to look at when you have two different readings BOOST and RPM on the same round gauge.. following the same *sweep* but in opposite directions..

I agree, this is why I was looking into this, I love how this is set up, This is a Ratpor shift light. It uses small led lights and you can choose different colors. Hiding it in the ac vent will make it complelety hidden during normal driving and when you need it, itll will light up the whole car. You set the shift light on that light so the rpms wont be off. You stock rpm might read 5400 when the light is set at 5700, so you just wait till the light comes on, and on the street you cant even tell. Its 90 bucks.

This is interesting http://autometer.com/dpss/index.html

You can set it for different rpms, as most shift calculators have you shifting a lower RPM for each gear usually anyway.

I've been looking at that cluster for some time now. I just hope Florida5.0 will let them go on sale.

Nice set up,
