Dave,
The RMI Tach circuit has a glitch filter which will prevent RPM readings above about 4500.
On mine I changed a resistor value to allow readings up to 7500 RPM.
It is a simple change.
I don't have the schematic here at home so I cannot tell you how to fix it until I go to work and review what I did.
I will send you the fix tomorrow.

New Problem: RMI tach no good.  According to my RMI engine monitor I have
about 4300 RPM at 24 MAP.  At 29 MAP I still only have about 4500 RPM and at
35 MAP I am still at 4500 RPM static.  I dont buy it because it sure sounds
different (faster).  So I have to install an accessory Tachometer....
