Default recommendations on rev counters?

As title, i need one for my car on track days as mine doesnt work..ive had a look around and stack seems to 'look' the nicest but its not the cheapest, not sure if £200 for a rev gauge is in my budget..

thanks, Joe

SPA, but they are just about as expensive, had one for years and is flipping ace (shift lights, completely programmable).

Look for a stepper motor unit, as these are more accurate, the needle doesn't float and flap about.

i had a stack one, just the same as frsjons as it goes...
cracking bit of kit, easy to setup and recall button is handy for peak values.
also has facility for programmable shift light, although i never got round to that.

Thanks, Joe

Sounds a bit cheaper twins, have you got a link of it? Had a look on their website but only saw a couple.

Thanks, Joe
