LS1 tach adapter

I've used the search function on here and can't seem to find the tach adapter that the LS1 3rd gen guys are using. Can someone help me out???


Thanks!

Upcoming release of LS1-Edit has it as a software setting...Ken tweaked my current binary to change the tach output divisor and it works like a champ w/ no hardware changes.

Oh I know, I'm just kidding around, I would have rather had an LS1, but fundage only allowed me for the LT1, which I am not complaining a bit, but the next one will be an LS1

Thanks. Is that what you're using? Did you get an adjustable one or tell them what motor/car you have?

teehehe

i dont think i can duplicate what im doing.


i had a tach that read almost double.... it SUCKED. and i replaced it.

well when i went to the LS1, i realised that it would be close on this tach signal.. i swapped it back in and *poof* its accurate to within 100RPM at the LS1s 6200 redline.

dumb luck on my part. lol





two of my local friends are using that box for their projects, and it works great... but im not using it.

btw, he knows what a LS1 is, and exactly what you need for a V8 tach (or V6 tach) to read the LS1s RPMs..

over half the stuff he sells is LS1 or LT1 swap related.
