I'm looking at putting a tach that pegs at 4000 rpm. A list member wrote
to suggest that I should go higher, and I tend to agree with him. But
the VDO family of tachs that I'm looking at (cockpit series) don't have
anything between 4000 and 6000 rpm, and 6000 rpm is silly high for a
stock 1.9l engine.

As I recall, 4000 is pretty much a sweet spot for smooth running of the
engine. Having a tach that goes all the way up to 6000 rpm seems a waste
of the gauge face.

I ask the mechanics on the list: is a 0 - 4000 rpm tach too low?
