Pretty much any tach will work... you will just need to tap into one of the wires running to the distributor... the installation instructions should show how.

would also be cool to have a small actuator hooked up to the butterfly on the throttle too which is hooked up to a knob on your podium so you can rev it from there aswell
Although i could forsee some safety issues there aswell.

I have an actuator attached to my throttle via a cable calibrated with a digital tachometer @ 1900 rpm and operated by a push on push off switch, I dont currently have a podium, maybe wont ever because of my head unit.

sorry boss, no cruise control. I wish I had the old type where I can just adjust the cable and be finished!
