Ya'll keep in mind that The tach on Dakota's is not very accurate. Mine for
example reads 200 higher at 4000 than it really is, so its actually 3800.
The higher the tach reading the worse it gets. I found out what it was
exactly the other day during my dyno run.
According to the AG engineering (Where I had it done) most factory tachs are
not very accurate.
