Basically, if you have a wasted spark driver board, then i will of course send you my instructions, but if you are on P8 and have had it enabled in teh chip then half speed is correct and you will have to either run it off some diodes on the coil and hope it works, or fit another tach. Whoever sold you the P8 chip would have explained this normally though of course...
