Tach question

I just bought a 88 GTU anout a month ago, i was thumbing throught the owners manual and i noticed that NA's are supposed to redline at 8000 and Turbos are suppoesed to redline at 7000. I have a tach in my NA that shows the redline at 7000, is this just a change they made in the cars? do i have a turbo tach in my car? CAN my NA rev to 8000? Whats goin on? Also now can i tell if my fuel pulsation dampener is going bad, my car is hard to start and rought to idle but runs fine above1500 rpm.

Youve either mis-read the manual, or are looking at a 89-91 manual. The only FC that came with a 8k redline tach was the 89-91 non-turbo 5-speed cars. All other FCs use a 7k redline.
