You prolly got one of those HUGE tachs and the weight of it is slowing you down. Your not losing actual HP.

splice it into the tach wire at the ecu and make sure you dont cut the wire, just splice into it. the ecu and igniter need to know the rpm of the car at all times. if you cut that wire, the car will not run right.
