might have less power than the non-vtec engine in there?

speedo is entirely different issue?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

I would not swap anything as long as the computer is happy. No codes?

also the speedometer dont work
What have you tested so far? Got any codes? Does the PCM data show any value for VSS?
