I've never heard about the tach being off.

But the shift light setting on mine, as well as some other people that I've talked to, will jump around a few hundred RPM, so you have to check it often.

i dont know if you are talking about the rev limiter rpm or just the tach rpm, i know that the rev limiter chips that you put in the msd actually start killing spark about 400-500 rpms before the actual # on the chip, so whatever you want your rev limiter to be just go 500 rpms above that.
