What shift light is it? For the raptor or harlan lights you just tap one of the cylinder wires then program it for 1 cylinder for me I tapped cylinder 2 and the wire was blue and white but apparently it can be green and white. If it's a traditional shift light you need a tach adapter as far as I know...

what if you have a 1000 Hp car, are looking for the best time possible at the strip, and dont want to have to take your eyes off the track to look DOWN at your rpms?

having a shift light will only IMPROVE your shifts, unless you dont care about drag racing, or racing in general.

The SS/SC wont let you blow the engine. If you drag the RPM too high they have like a governor that kills acceleration, it kinda feels like the shifter slipt out of gear.
