Default Hmmmm.... RPM Gauge majorly off???

Usually when I'm at the track I use my shift light to give me warning, but have not been using it recently.

Driving around yesterday, (taking the car to an off road street of course... disclaimer) I gave my RPM gague a look to see how close I was to hitting redline. I've got the B18C1 swap with P72 and I believe red line is 8200k right??

Anyway I looked at it a few times before fuel cut and I noticed that the needle was going past 8500k.

So are these gauges suppose to be that far off? Advice??

My EX gauge cluster reads 8600+ rpm whe the MSD cuts spark at 7800 rpm, which the Autometer tach displays nicely.

Yeah I was looking into an Autometer but the 3" tachs.

Are there any other brands of tachs out there besides Autometer??
