Do you know of an economical shift light? RACE ON!!!
What do you want to spend?
Self contained ones from Autometer or Stewart Warner are $135.
Summit has a cheapo with a dial thet's used to set it for $33 (accuracy?). And a digital for $72.
As little as possible for a decent visible light. Thanks for the references. I hadn't none any shopping, at all.

I ended up with a Raptor. It had a good reputation even though it seems like the guy is making them out of his garage, but I guess that's good for quality control.
There's some photos on my cardomain site below.
One limitation of the digidash speed is the LCDs themselves, they simply don't react quickly. I suspect if the tach signal isn't clean, it's more difficult to read as the rpms increase. My car doesn't ever see 5,000 rpms unless I miss a shift.
I will look into the Raptor also. I like the idea of placing it in the A/C vent where it isn't noticeable. I would also want an on/off switch for daily driving.
I have been shifting at 6000 rpms, sometimes 6200. I think the valve float, flat cam, and clicking lifters, are the reason I've lowered my shift point to closer to 5600. I like to be able to read engine temp and rpms when racing. I am headed for the track shortly. I hate "flying blind".
