Yeah the one on ebay was the one I was looking at, however I would have to buy an aftermarket tach as well. Just don't know whether to pull the trigger on it or not! Was hoping some guys here might have had some good advice on it!

They list for over $675!

I don't think they can generate much additional HP (if any) over a Big gun or even the Ron woods for the extra coin. I guess the launch feature might help you if you are REALLY serious about drag racing.

I'm also always leary of buying someone else's used electronics. Most manufacturers will not warranty anything past the original owner.

It is a square wave signal and my tach is not adjustable for it. Even MSD has stated this.
