Yea all you have to do is run it to your rpm signal on your ecu and you wont need a 5" tach.

Yeah in one of my mechanics drag-cars, he has nothing at all... no tach, no speedo, just three lights mounted on the dash.

get an rpm activated switch and splice it into a shift light/whatever dash light you want to use. I run a shift light and stock tach. My stock tach is about 600 rpms off at redline, so the light helped a lot.
