Tachometer For 87 Seabreeze

[midime2]

I'm looking to put a tachometer in my 87 Seabreeze. I'm looking at an Autometer that goes to 5000 rpm. Is that high enough? Should I get the one that goes to 8000. Thanks

I installed a SunPro in my Escaper. 5000 is not high enough. There are several threads on here that discussed this issue including installation. I mounted mine on the left side of the instrument cluster so that I can see it without looking away from the road. I use the tach all the time when driving in the mountains. One important thing to remember about Toyota 22Re engines, do not lug them, spin up the rpm's and the engines will last a very long time.

I bought several mini-tachs for $13 each and have had them installed for over a year. Been working flawlessly. As to how high? Mine go to 8000 RPM but 5000 would be high enough for me. I won't run my engine over 3800-4000 RPM anyway.
