ttt...I'm going to hold off on putting this together until I get someone interested...just too much else going on right now. If I get a commitment, I can have the dash finished within two days.

VA72C10 · 05-27-2012, 01:57 AM

ttt....I can also take someone's stock gauges and install into this if you want to keep your correct mileage. Will take $35 off the price if I use your gauges...

Or, can supply with a speedo rolled back to zero for $20 extra...

To me, (IMHO) it's more about rpm's than HP....any engine that turns more than 4500 rpm's should consider one of these...since the stock tach pegs at 5K...you're running at the limit of the gauge a lot of the time with a higher revving engine...

HeavyMetalChevy · 06-03-2012, 03:44 AM

Yeah.. .I think I need one.. Never dyno mine or anything like that. I just go by specs and with my all roller setup and larger vortec head I know I at least at 375 hp. Running a th400 I would suspect I am hitting well over 5 grand. with a 4:10 Eaton

**1972BackInBlackC10** · 06-03-2012, 03:54 AM

im gonna need a tach with my motor, maybe some day i will get a tach cluster, no idea what my motor will be pushing, i do know the cam has to be broken in right away at 2000-2500 rpm for 20 mins, thinking im going to take it to a shop a couple hrs away and get them to break it in on the dyno i dont want to mess the engine up i have way too much money into it to do it again
