my tach is mounted in my gauge cluster.

oh yeah, i forgot, its becuase its the stock tach.

I do have an autometer clone shift light mounted on my cluster hood, attached to an msd rpm activated switch.

You dont need to see the tach if you can see the shift light

Here's mine, and those tachs are essential for good tuning because honda factory tachs are notoriously inaccurate.

I used to have a monster tach mounted on my dash to the right side of the dash, right above the clock or the vent. I took it out because it was attracting to much attention and people looking in my car. And the damn thing was to big and noticable. Does anyone have any alternative to these big tachs? Since the stock tach is junk.

I've seen small tachs that mount in the larger gauge pillar pods, looked nice!

oem tach's are innacurate, ever notice before? I'd try mounting it in place of the stock tach, even if it needed to have the gauge hood cut up to fit.

now, see, if you had an oem cluster with a tach in that, you can just plug **** in, instead of having to rip wires out, who cares if its off by a few rpm, its sleeeeeeeeper
