Tom,
I found several years ago, that the SnPro is not up to the same quality
overall of the old SUN guages.
I have also experienced arecent disappointment with VDO guages,
especially the tach, but it was the only 7000 RPM tackh I could find, and
in my opinion, a waste of money at $115+.
I guess when you open an expensive guage and see "Made in Taiwan" on
components, you know that you are buying the name and not necessarily
quality. Best Regards, Tony
