    Default Wish I had a Tacho?

    Today I did some WOT runs and and i stayed in 3rd and 4th gear while trying to determine if I'm hitting the rev limiter, I just couldn't tell (plus I wasn't too keen just holding there for too long)
    In 4th gear I glance at my speedo (135 indicated) seems like I wasn't going any faster so shifted to 5th.
    I'm running 15/39 sprockets, I know there's been the odd spreadsheet/gearing calcs around I might have to chase one up.
    I'm liking the extra kick given by the Hotcams exhaust, today's runs were a quick test but ideally I need to make a trip to the dragstrip i think to get some true speeds (I have GPS which I'll have to use again as well).

    Yep and it'll feel like you let off the throttle a bit... mine tops out a 88mph indicated.

    I use my Daytona tach for testing and tuning all sorts of parts/mods, may compare my tach to the dyno tach as well.
