Speedometer not working

I changed my converter and now at the track, when I launch off the line the speedometer remains at 0 ...untill I cross the finish line and let off the gas...

If I'm on the street, and accelerate normally it works fine... Anyone hear of this before? Why would it remain a "0" when I'm at full throttle, but work fine at easy starts...

It only started doing this since I installed the 2800 converter...

Unplug the connector, verify it is clean and damage free. Check the wires to verify there is no damage.

Other than that I wouldn't know what to say.
