Reason for not being able to hook up the tach wire MEGA 450
 

Hello All
I was just wondering what is the actul reason behind not being able to hook up the Green tach wire on a Mega 400 or 450?
Other then NHRA/IHRA says "NO"
What does it do I don't know about?

In order to shift on RPM not on time it needs to be hooked up, or you need a second means to activate the shifter.

Seems a waste of money to have to buy a second box to activate the shifter.
"O I forgot Drag Racing is not suposed to be Cheap"

Is there something this box can do, I don't know about?

Cal, I've been told that the tach wire was used with the delay box to work with some type counter and/or track locator in the past. Don't know this to be fact just what I have been told.

You must be new.

All kidding aside. There has been a lot of speculation about whether or not the box "guts" can be replaced or reprogrammed to aide in cheating. Digital Delay debunked this notion on their website a number of years ago but NHRA enforced this rule anyway. Now we have to live with it and buy addition boxes to record RPM.

TD- I have my Tach wire hooked up all the time! I just can't read the counter @ 160 plus without my Glasses !

LOL Thanks guys
I'm not smart enough to hook anything up like that.

I have heard of a couple boxes that do everything for you but let go of the button.
I guess I'm just not smart enough to know which one to buy. Or where to get one for that matter. But wouldn't use it even if I did know where to get one at.

Just don't understand how something so simple can be so complicated!!!

Guess all the guys winning are just cheaters

LUV YA too Keith LOL

And while you're looking at Keith's car have him fire up the stereo !! Not that's impressive

Re: Reason for not being able to hook up the tach wire MEGA
 

I think it's digital and has something to do with the counter!!! Who has a stereo in a race car .. I think he is cheating !' Lol

it's not the stereo, it's the antenna, or so I have been told. lmao
