8 or 10k Tach?

[66Sprint6]

Okedokee, I just changed my sunpro gauges ot autometer ultra lites, I love em!!! NOW i need, or really want, to change my tach from sunpro to the same style gauge but the only ultralite tach they have small is a 10k RPM. I currently have an 8K tach and dont ever see going ANY higher than that, even when I turbo and all that. What do yall think, whats the highest RPM I would ever need to see and what would yall do as far as a tach? Let me know!

Matt, go with the Sport Comp Silver, 8000 rpm and a 3 3/4 face....

That was prolly what I would go with, only thing is I dont know If I like the way the pointer sweeps, I know picky, but I will prolly end up with that one or a black one to match the original gauges

Keep the dash simple. Jack might know what type the car is.

I can't imagine you ever needing more than an 8000 rpm tach unless you plan on spending a fortune on the engine. I wish they had a larger selection of 6000 rpm tachs. A 10000 rpm tach is kind of like the 160 mph speedo on my old Vette. Looks cool, but most of the speedo is unused.

My guess is a Triumph?
