So once I got my 2056cc built the tach could no longer keep up and just flailed around worthlessly... Especially when running an autocross. So I finally got around to trying the 2200uF trick and now it's over damped... Sigh. Maybe I'll try a different variant of capacitor and see what happens.

Anybody else have a recommended type of capacitor for the application:
