So i guess if i ask if any one has a diagram to add a 2nd spoiler to my car then thats a legit question too?

And im not sure how the tach can be "laggy". Maybe im wrong but it can only tell you what you car is doing no more no less.

Read the post above yours.

Took me about 3 months when I first got the car to get used to said lag in 1st and 2nd.

That and why do you have to hate when dude wants a better tach?

Seriously, if you have nothing to add why post?

To get your pointless point across?

I know, what im saying is i dont understand how the tach can be indifferent than what your engine is doing at any given time. It should be right on, key word should, lol.

no tach . the stock tach is fine. Ive compared that while having the teh 2 hooked up at work, and they are about spot on. Tech 2 is obviously a little behind.

eheh not to hate on an LS but if you had SS/SC you would understand. In 1st gear even if you can keep the tires under control it shows roughly 5500 rpm when the first pop of the limiter hits... which is at 6500. I think the dash is all electronic, so the servo is just not as fast as the engine.

these SC engines seem to have a more flat climbing power curve so you want every drop of RPM you can manage.
