If you have an aftermarket tach, just set it to 4 cylinder more, add the resistor, and you're done. For some reason now that I type that it sounds completely backwards, and you're really need a V16 setting, but I'll ignore my instincts as that's what the docs said.
If you can't set your tach to 4 cylinder, you need an adapter box. I got this one from Dakota Digital via Amazon:

Works great, simple to connect. My factory tach works perfectly.
Can anyone explain that in a way that a software guy can understand it? I get Ohm's law and all of that, but how can adding a resistor increase the voltage?

Please watch the video I posted. If you're doing a swap then theres no reason why you cant just change the signal in the pcm when you have your pcm flashed. Converter box is a completely unnecessary cost.
Also the resistor isnt there to increase voltage. As I explained in the video, youre pulling 12 volts from a switched 12v source and adding it to the tach signal, the resistor is there to DECREASE the voltage and to a safe level and prevent backfeeding and damaging the pcm I believe.
