This feature is only found on the Sport-Comp playback tachs. When used in conjunction with an optional plug-in Shift Lite or Quick Lite, this feature will tell you when you are at your desired launch RPM, so you can keep your eyes on the tree, and leave at the exact RPM you want, every time!

Four Stage Shift Lite:

Use this feature to dial in up to 4 specific shift points, and get the most of your machine in every gear!

Short Shift Protection:

All Auto Meter playback tachs have built-in intelligence to recognize if you shift before your programmed shift point and will automatically advance to your next programmed point, keeping you on track for the finish.

First Gear Delay:

Make use of this feature to help your playback tach recognize the difference between tire spin coming out of the hole and your 1-2 gear shift. Dial in the right delay in tenths of a second and never miss your shift again!

Use this feature to view the highest and lowest points of each gear shift. This is very useful when checking to see if you nailed your shift points, and also when fine tuning gearing to your power band.
