if your car doesnt already have a tach, then its fine to have one IMO. but if you notice most race cars take out all guages, including the speedo, and only have a monster tach, thats fine. in my car, i swapped the engine, the new engine has a higher redline than the old engine, i could have put in a monster tach, but instead i put a single shift light and pill to reduce the rice factor. and yes, a big ass tach in a subaru is rice, your car already has a tach in front of your face, why have two? two tachs is rice, buy a shift light. you know they sell shift lights with out the tach right?

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

so is mine and everyone elses. stock tachs are always off by a little, i dont think your cams are the reason your tach is off. i have skunk2 stage 2 cams and a shitload of other stuff and my stock tach works fine. my stock tach redlines at 6500, but my engine redlines at 8700 as well.
