Has anyone installed a full replay tach or avenger II on a kitty cat? Where do I get the pulse for the tach? any idea of what pulse the ignition is? any help would be greatly appreciated. This is going on a kitty cat that is to be run in 1000' speed runs. Tom

Two words: Bill Tripp. :lol:

Look for "kidsperformance" on this forum. He might know, but I assume he does all his testing on his own dyno. :wink:

You might ask John at OBUPS (olson brothers racing / tiger chassis) Look for a post from him in this forum as well. :wink:
