6000, 7000 or 8000 rpm tach?

Another thing to consider is that if you go with a lower RPM tach, it will be a bit easier to read, since there will be fewer rev points spread across the 270 degree sweep. If you are planning on using the tach to shift, I'd highly recommend getting one with a shift light like the Autometer 233905 or the 2309.

agree, **** lights are for shifting. Tachs are for gathering data.
