Re: what should i be getting for speed ? Get a tiny tach. They are cheap and easy to install. In order to be able to help you we really need to know what rpm your turning.

Re: what should i be getting for speed ? It allows you to dial in your motor / monitor its performance you can adjust your settings on your governor so your turning proper RPM's if its determined your not turning enough out of the water. A tach is very useful.
