Default Tachometer problem... not reading after 6500rpm

Hey everyone i have a 2.0l b18b with a gt35r and the tachometer will not read past 6500 rpms.

what would cause this? the car has a MSD blaster coil and ignition.

ive heard so far it would be an igniter problem or an ignition coil...

thoughts?

THANKS

I used to have a problem like this. Not entirely sure what fixed it cause I tried a bunch of things and it finally worked again. It was eather my thermostat ground was loose or the tacho signal wire was loose at one of the connectors. Does anything else unusal happen other than the tach not reading? What does the tach do does it go straight back down to zero or just stay at 6500?

MSD 6AL Ignition control
MSD SS Blaster Coil
MSD Distributor cap
MSD Wires

.. is my MSD stuff.

My tuner said its prob my ignitor and the distributor may be beginning to fail.

What should i replace these with? OEM?
