I'm going to add a shift light thinking 6.5 is a good time for it to shine considering I'll hit 7k as I shift.
Good?
Good?

How do you add a shift light to a stock tach?In love with a MadScientist!:thumbright:
There's a fine line between breathtaking ingenuity and "That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen!"

Chad you don't need a shift light man. Get used to your car/engine and soon enough you will know when to shift. You got to feel it. Once you get use to the power range of the engine you will know exactly when to shift.89L build thread http://www.fordfestiva.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=36422

I doubt he'll ever use the shift light anyway. They're more of a "look at me, I have features" thing than a "I can only drive a stick with a shift light" thing.1990 White L-Plus 5-speed rust-machine

Put it on a Dyno, find out were your torque curve ends and shift a few hundred R.P.M.s prior to the end. Or go by the seat of your pants.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.Comment

i set mine to 6700 but shift at 7000~7200 (cut off is 7300 on my haltech ecu... or what ever i set it to lol...
) i run it out to 7200ish in 1st but shift early from 2-3 and 3-4 cause it takes so long to up to that rpm and the power band is not in the top end with my motor at all, the small exhaust chokes it up past 4500 ish rpm...
i think what im gonna do is get a tach cluster and put the shift light in the drivers side dash vent the big 5 inch tach is getting kind of ugly to look at...
