does the tach ring light ever turn red like on the speedo at 100? Like if you hit redline or the rev limiter?

89MPH and 5500 RPM's.
4000 is too low. That's where the car starts making power!

What's the default, I think it's 70? Haven't figured out if I want to change the default or not.

I left mine at the same place as when I picked up my car. I believe it's around 78ish. For me that's a safe warning when driving casually.Until I REALLY want to get on it.

The speedo ring turns red 15 mph above the speed at which it lights in orange.
The tach turns red at redline.

I'm glad you have the ECT PWR turned on I actually totally forgot about when I picked up my IS350, so I drove for like 6 hours (30 miles) without it... Then I realized and was like "CRAP!" and turned it on... Floored it, and didn't notice any difference because the car redlines either way... HAHA! I think it just helps with throttle response a bit... You can still get MAX acceleration on "normal" or even "snow" I bet...

Anyway, it looks cool... Make sure you turn on your fog lamps also...

I set it at 70, because the speed limit on the freeways here in Washington is 60. By 70, I want to know, because cops around here are so picky about it. My RPM indicator is set to 6k.

You're doing over 80mph when it's 19 degrees out? Damn son, you gotta be careful you don't hit a patch of ice...
