Default any of you guys ever installed this b4?

im looking at the big RPM gauge with the shift light and i dont understand where you connect the wires too?
is this hard to install and how much time is needed to install this, also is it more accurate then the stock gauge?

It would be called a Tach (tachometer)
The autometers are somewhat a little bit more accurate, so yes, but no its not worth it. Your stock guage is fine for the applications you are running. I have one with a shift light for my nitrous. Dont bother with it.

I would get some Nice overlays and A small shift light to go with your stock tach. IF you wanted something that tells you when to shift instead of lookin or feeling it. Then thats the way to go with your application. You really only need the BIG tach if its a "race car" imo its kinda goofy looking in a street car.
