alright heres another newb question. what (besides an engine swap) would cause someone to have to up grade from there stock rpm gauge to a higher one. ie on that redlines at 8 to one the reds at 10. just curious

Engine build or ECU tune where the engine will be able to surpass what the gauge is measured up to
anything else i dunno

 

You could buy an Type R, spoon, mugen or external tach that's got a higher redline.... But frankly it's pointless to have a tach that goes into the rpm range you won't be seeing...
96-00 gauges shown
EX/LX:

SI:
*pic in 92-95 dash*
Spoon:

Type R:

Honda CRV gauge cluster:

Autometer 5" tach with shift light:

 

buy a new set of cams

 

like said... unless you have upgraded the motor in some way... upgrading the tach is pointless...

BUT if you realy want to be accurate then a good brand name will give you a more ACCURATE RPM. but i dont think your stock gauge is to unacurate.....

but for PROS when a build motor that is REALY PUSHED HARD they need accuracy....
