Why a Tachometer Is Critical
RPM is everything when it comes to engine health and performance.
Run too high:
- Valve float
- Engine wear
- Catastrophic failure
Shift too low:
- Lose power
- Kill acceleration
- Waste your build’s potential
A tachometer ensures you stay in the optimal powerband—not guessing where it is.
