where to get an aftermarket tach?

If I'm going to stick the 3800rpm spring in I want a tach to see where it revs to and where I need to stay to be safe.

Thanks. I bet by the time I buy all the gauges I will have spent more than I did on the truck itself.

spring number for a first gen is --1-464-650-366.
this is a bosch number. It is a 3200 not a 3800 spring.
I installed it and adjusted my throttle all the way and I can rev to 3500.
From what I hear you can go to 4000 max so you should be safe, I rev mine all the time with no problem.
Have fun

Its a 3800rpm marine spring. If you adjust the gov screw way out you can get it to rev to almost 4500, but its a ballanced 3.6L.
