No cops though.
Drove miata all day today and went to start it up after work and as I put the key in the ignition and turned it to acc on the tach jumped to red line and back and then rested in its current position (6 o clock).

Wondering if your tach looked like the following before I disassemble mine and reposition the needle. Only recent mod is COPS but I took apart the ignitor, to verify the white tach wire was still connected and it is.

EDIT : Tach works in tunerstudio

Thanks, spun tach needle counter clockwise and problem solved... temporarily. The tach needle spiked 0 to 7k again this morning as I went to start the car (acc on position) but thankfully it went back to 0. Something screwy is going on with my COPs that im yet to figure out.
