Does the DFI have a speedo input and output? If so, it should be a simple matter of selecting the correct input and output rates in the software.

If you were using the Lt1 PCM, you'd have an output for it. The only thing I can think of is to try and see if one of the Dakota Digital boxes may help. I used to have one and think it can be used for your situation. You may want to do a search for them see what comes up. I believe you'd just take the output from the VSS in the trans and hook one end into it, then the output would go on the passenger side behind the knee panel where the cars original speedo box would have to be unplugged. From there, I believe it's either the 2nd or 3rd wire from the right that feeds the speedo gauge.
