Hypothetical Question
My factory tach goes to 5000 rpm. Lets say I revved the motor to 5800-6000 rpm while driving. Would this damage the tach or would the needle just continue on past 5k ? This is with a LS motor so the only concern is the tach. Thanks in advance.

Re: Hypothetical Question
It's only electrons; unless it has a drive cable on it (like on a Corvette). No needles will be damaged.
