i'd like to have one setup at 8000rpm for track use...that way i dont have to look at the tach and keep my eyes on the road baby

open up your gauge cluster....get a big ass red light on your dash (the size of the popo's) then put one contact point on your tach needle and one where 8k is, and there you go....when you hit that, then bing! up goes that light that you just can't miss...

Naah, the are just resistors...very expensive ones

autometer shift lites aren't all that expensive...i know that i've used mine many a times...eyes should be on the road at all times not staring at ur tach......
