Default Gauges to use with GSR swap

I have a del Sol Si but about a couple months back I threw in a b18c1. But then I was wondering what gauges I'd use for the swap. A while back I had bought sol VTEC gauges. The Si & VTEC redline is at the same spot on the tach. Since the VTEC gauges work on the b16a3, would it also be the same for the b18c1? I was wondering if maybe I hadn't taken my engine to it's full potential and been shifting at 7000 instead of the 8. Thanks in advance.

you should either get a JDM cluster like this

or I would check to see if you can find a EDM cluster that has MPH instead of KMH.

The del sol Vtec gauge should redline around 81-8200rpm, which is the redline for the gsr motor also.

Getting the gauge cluster would be the same as buying the gauges. The speedo is the same, just the RPM's is different. The location of the redline is in the exact same position. Just different number. I guess I'm gonna have to find the rev limit to see where it's at just to be sure. Or I can wait till I get the datalogging for the hondata and just read it from that. If anybody knows, it'd be helpful. If not, I'll get an update of my results.
