Raptor Shift Light / Tach accuracy?

[MYTRAM]

To anyone that has a raptor shift light installed.

Just wondering how accurate your tach is to what your raptor setting is? I finally just got mine installed, have set at 5500 as that seems to be most popular setting per this forum, but I don't get the flash until a solid 5800 on my tach. How many, if any of yours, are that far off? Any idea which would be most accurate between the tach and light? tia

MInes off a little too.

Just ignore the numbers on it and adjust it till it comes on at the right rpms according to the tach.

Don't use the tach to set the shift light.

That is not a good way to do set your shift light. The Raptor shift light is accurate to + - 10 RPM. It is digital.
The tach is off, as most factory tachs are. The factory tach does not keep up with the actual RPM's of the motor.

The adjustment set ups on the Raptor are very accurate.
Use the adjustment setting with confidence that it is correct and the tach is somewhere else.

Interesting. I didn't know that.

I have seen several people say that the tach doesn't exactly match the rpm setting of the raptor. I figured it was because the Raptor isn't designed for the V-10. :dontknow:

My rev limiter is set at 6000 rpms and my tach shows exactly that if I bump it. ??
