do i really need a tach or the stock tach will do...becuase the tach was originally placed where the emergency lights would show up at???? seems like a distraction

Not many cars have the tac in the middle, thats where it should be. I do like the s5 tac better, looks better.

TIIs have a redline?

I've taken mine to 16k rpm, and no, the engine didn't survive.

16k....you ******* wuss. I did 22k lol jk

use the stock tach....its accurate to about 8500 rpm (its free is the point here)

Use a Stack tach if you are going to replace it. i hate autometer

Stack tach = $280

pegasus racing sells them
