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.
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.

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.

well genrally i test around 7 after i get home, not too much night testing, mostly because the head light sucks butt can never see much at all, if some one has any ideas or done mods on a brighter head light or more of them please send me the link and such, one more question? if i find and put the 8.4 gears in i should break 50MPH right?
