5in Ultra-Lite Tach - 9000 RPM

The 5in Ultra-Lite Tach - 9000 RPM from AUTOMETER is an essential engine monitoring instrument for serious performance builders, race mechanics, and enthusiasts who demand real-time RPM feedback without adding unnecessary weight or bulk to the dash. Whether you're tuning a naturally aspirated engine, dialing in a forced-induction build, or simply need accurate tachometer data during dyno work, this compact gauge delivers precision readability at a glance. Mechanics and fabricators trust AUTOMETER's legacy of accuracy and durability across everything from street machines to competition vehicles.

Built on AUTOMETER's proven analog movement technology, the 5in Ultra-Lite Tach reads up to 9000 RPM, making it suitable for high-revving four-cylinder engines, V-6 power plants, and most naturally aspirated V-8 platforms. The ultra-lite construction minimizes dashboard strain and supports custom gauge cluster builds where weight savings matter—whether in a lightweight race car or a meticulously modified street rod. The 5-inch diameter provides excellent visibility without overwhelming compact dash panels, while the responsive needle movement ensures you catch shift points and peak power bands without lag or hunting.

This tachometer works best in vehicles with a distributor-fired ignition system or electronic ignition that provides a clean tach signal, making it ideal for classic muscle cars, vintage street rods, and traditional performance builds. Professional installers and DIY builders appreciate the straightforward wiring and compact form factor that simplifies gauge pod design and custom dash layouts. The durable face and sealed movement resist vibration, heat cycling, and the inevitable environment swings of an engine bay, ensuring long-term accuracy whether your vehicle sees occasional weekend drives or regular high-RPM use.
