But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Yeh, my Driver doesnt have a rev counter.

Although apparently a rev counter will plug straight into the plug that's already there, without any other work needed  :rolleyes:

I'm going to look at doing what MattNeck has done with the swap over of clock and rev counter.
Looks cool  :cool:
