geez no offense to anyone on here but cant you drive without a tach? you dont need a shiftlight!!!! the car tells you when to shift!

Your going to hear alot of that from alot of guys...

Nah, but your best bet is Autometer, they're about the best money can buy.

Good luck to ya.

I run an Autometer 6" Cobalt tach...with a...*gasp* shiftlight...

302 rev very quickly and if you dont pay attention...your going to bounce it off the rev limiter. I set mine up to flash about 500rpm before i actually want to shift.

But after driving along time you get the feel of your car and can really predict when its going to do something, so you can time your shifts. But remember, spinning tires = rpms jumping quicker.

Well I'll let you know how the Raptor shift light works out, I'll have it here this week sometime. It gets the tach feed from the dizzy so you wouldnt be reliant on the factory tach anyways. Im going to hide it in the A/C vent so its clean and out of my way no clutering things up. I just couldnt bring myself to throw in a big'ol tach, something with me about having 2 tachs in my car...nothing against it though.
