Hi, you dont actually need one but it is one of the more important gauges.
without one youll never know if your hitting max revs, pintos dont like to be over revved they will break if you reguarly go over 7k

You don't necessarily want to hit Max rev's anyway. You need to know where the power band peaks and this should be the upshift point.
