What tach to buy?

Hey I am looking to get a tach for my 87 K20, just to know what kind of rpms i'm turning. I don't want to spend a ton, so I wanted ot know what aftermarkets tachs to get.... Autozone had a sunpro for $45 but I didn't want to buy it, becuase, ya know, its autozone.... What do you recommend?

Re: What tach to buy?

Do they make 5,000 RPM tachs? I'd rather have one of those....

Autozone has a $30 sunpro, Jegs has the autometer for $50, found one on ebay $45 shipped....... I'll keep looking.

Re: What tach to buy?

I have not used it yet but that sunpro I was telling you about seems nicely built for the price... To me the gauge looks better than most others in that price range
