I have one, it has a 7600 rpm pill... just wish I had the instruction to hook it up.

ground/ecu plug/coil is all you'd need to do and it's installed.

oh and i got mine for free from a guy on hondaswap. he rules.

Thanks....so I'm assuming they are easy to put in. The reviews on them are real good. I think I might buy one.

I got the MSD shift light years ago. Greatest thing ever for braket racing, it easy to get real deadly. What I would do is put the pill 100-200 RPM under what I wanted to shift at. That way you have time to react and you'll get it just right. I was using a car with an automatic trans and could pull 5-6 runs all within 2-3 thousandths of each other, this was done in a footbrake car.

Not only are shift lights ricey, but they are a waste of $. If you need a shift light to tell you when to shift, you haven't driven your car enough. Hay, if you're runnin a super gas car or super steet car, that is different. If I looked over and saw a gt stang with a shiftlight, I'd want to race that guy, because I would assume he was an amature driver. -And they do look awfully ricey.

Then why do so many people use the drag racing?

a shift light is more accurate than the stock tach, and its cheaper than an aftermarket tach

Yeah, if you are bracket racing A LOT, then I could see doing the shift light. -But to me that's where using a shiflight ends.

Yea definately best for consistancy, but certainly not a necessity
