That's really pushing the stock springs. That's pushing everything in fact. How often do you spin it up that high?
I see an aftermarket tach is gonna be necessary.

I have nice big springs in my garage, just havent put them on yet. With 4k worth of stall shifting close to 7k my stock tach rarely moves off of 6k. Right at the shifts it drops to about 5300, but quickly pegs back to 6 and stays there.
Also, i still get 19.6mpg on the highway at 70-75.
