Well, after testing the module with the "butt dyno", it definately does work
from 4500 to 7000.  Not huge but definately an improvement.  However the pot
I used is pretty crappy and adjusted itself after 10 minutes of smashing the
throttle.  I am going to install a fixed resistor at 1100 ohms unless
someone can give me reasons to go higher than that.  I like the full
throttle LED idea, this is probably the best solution to the low rpm bog
issue.  An RPM sensing circuit looks nice on paper but from what I have
gathered cannot be easily designed to work in this Bosch system.  My
electronic theory knowledge isn't what it used to be so I'm going with the
k.i.s.s. principle.

I did do some research on RPM sensing circuitry and it can be done based on
the LM2907 IC.

There are many applications, I happen to like the LED tach kit which could
be modified to make a mutli range shift light array AKA F1 and ALMS cars.

Thanks for everyone's input.
