Speedo, and Tach Calibration?

So i am doing the K20A2 swap soon. My question is, with the guages that i currently have still work? I mean with the new engine will 65mph on my guages really be 65mph? and will 5000rpm really be 5000rpm? I was planning on getting a new tach anyways so that the redline on the new engine wouldnt be confusing with the redline on the OE tach, but still the speedo is in question. Any ray of light into my question?
Thanks,
Cheers

K20A2 swap <----check this out you might find out some things before you actually decide on making that swap. If you have money then kick a$$ man, but i won't ever do that. I think the 7th gen is a waste of money right now as far as motor components, sure you can turbo it, but you risk to many things. Soon they will have parts out for our D17 motors so i would just wait man.

from what i recall (from riding inside the k20 civic) the stock guages work fine as long as u wire the k20 ecu properly... they seemed really accurate(kinda odd seeing stock civic gauges go past 7k rpm though)
