Default Speedometer not working

My speedometer has always worked perfect.. however since I installed a FTI 2800 converter, it stays at 0 ONLY at the track when I leave the line at FULL THROTTLE... When I'm on the street its perfect ..

But at the track it will remain at 0 until I cross the finish line, then it will kick in and show the correct speed (app110 mph) after I let off the gas...

Any thoughts...??

mine does the same, always had since the converter only on fast launches even on the street, i think it has to do with the tune changing the converter slippage numbers, im just guessing
