I have the tacho working on the racepack. I use the channel "EFI RPM" from the Haltech data stream. It does not seem to transfer across to the virtual dash, even when I select that channel to display. The Trackvision is a third party software provider, who I think worked with Racepak for the development. Haltech is a customer of Racepak I guess, and not as well catered for.
Reading the Haltech forums and manuals yesterday, it seems ther is an output for a tacho signal. I am going to have to investigate this as I think that is what the Trackvision software reads for the tacho display on the virtual dash. I now also believe that the Racepak dash and data logger need this tach signal to run the gear number display and rev limit/shift lights that I have never managed to get working.
I am easing onto the throttle, especially coming out of the final turn and the fish hook. I am actually using 3rd gear for a lot of the corners I used to use 2nd because the engine has enough torque to pull from lower in 3rd without the wheelspin I was getting in second. Less shifts and wheel spin has made the laps cleaner and a bit quicker.
I usually get on Natsoft (race results) when I know there has been a timed track day at Wakefield for a sticky beak. Last weekend I would have been in the top 5 with a pair of skylines etc. Looking on Natsoft is also good to check on big noters. I have found a couple of guys spruiking times some 15 seconds a lap faster than the official records show. I'll look up the times and see if I can search 'supra'.
