This may be the wrong section, but I'm sure someone will move it if there are objections to it.
Are you wanting pics of "monster tachs" such as the 5" tall ones?

get that upr tach mount for $30 that way you don't have to drill into the dash etc and can easily remove if you decided you didn't want it. Another option is just the adjustable shift light.

most people dont like the monster tachs but they are acurate i can not say that about our factory ones if you drag race a lot you will see this

i know my tach OE is off 100rpm from the dyno and last time i got it tuned, why is it off.. i dont know itso nly 14 years old lol, as far as where to place the tach, depends, soundsl ike you want to put a clock/pod of gauges, are you going to use an apillar gauge set up as well, if its a strictly drag car why dont you just take the oe cluster out and make your own with large tach/shift light, oil pressure/ a/f, and fuel pressure, and water temp??? might be the best idea if its a race car like you say

no pillar guages but i like the race clusters i thought down the road using the single 5" and (4) 2-5/8 guages for a speedo and whatever other guages i need..the car can still be driven on the road but i dont ever use it for that thats what the cobras for :thumbsup: this one is slowly evolving into the strip only car

Not a very good pic but here it is. The tack is mounted on a vertical bracket which is screwed
into the side of the dash in behind the radio/heater plastic frame.

What do you need it for? You should be looking at the road, not your tach for when to shift. A light is all you need.

i was never a big fan of huge tachs, but if its not a street car, where you'd probably just be doing it for aesthetics, then im sure its serving some sort of purpose. me personally, i like a clean look myself, so if i was to ever want/need to buy an aftermarket tach or shift light, id just buy a shift light and mount it in the AC vent.
