Speedo will not be an issue. The shift points and line pressure will need to be reprogrammed. You could probably send your ECM to one of the forum venders for a mail order tune that will really help wake it up.

yea; a tune will take care of speedometer, shift points and red limiter.
I wouldn't wind it out until you get it changed.

I wouldn't drive it without a tune the convertor won't lock right it won't shift right and the tranny probably will overheat. The speedo is not affected. The speed sensor is in the diff.
