Greetings:

Legendarily Cheap Wheelman has been using the Standard version of the TinyTach for over 2 years. When it finally blows, I'll get the DeLuxe version. The Standard goes to 9999 RPM only. Flash makes top speed at 0450. :crazy:

Good News: Cheap and easy to install. You just wrap the red wire a few coils around the spark plug wire and screw the ground down anywhere.

Bad News: No backlight for Nocturnal Testing.

Greetings:

I hadn't read the site for a long time. It seems the Standard is now a lot better. The faster 1/2-second updates and a 19,000-RPM Ceiling are both much better than mine. Unfortunately the price has gone up a lot. Still, $50-ish for a very easy-to-install unit isn't too bad unless you test at night.
