Yep, my '01 has the same thing. It's ok, but even though I'm driving a 5sp
here, it's not all that useful most of the time.

I shift well before valve float here. I'm not racing it, just driving.

That's a whole different ballgame. For racing applications, yeah, a tach is
going to be helpful, especially one you can see without taking your eyes off
the road ahead. And a useful shift light is good too. The stock Dak shift
light is, well, almost but not entirely unlike useful.

And the pontoons option, just in case...
