I beleive if you put in the JDM Cluster that came with the front clip you should be fine and it should be rather accurate.

But considering you dident put the KA speed sensor i think it will be a bit off

Thats my setup. Runs fine, reads speed right, reads tach right.

How do you know the engine speed is off? If it's a turbo timer, or any other signal, you might as well take the average of the 2 to get a closer reading.

i ran with a USDM tach for almost a year and had no problems with it reading off. Also, as long as you swap in the KA speed sensor, you should read fine. If you keep the SR speed sensor, it will be off a marginal percentage.

I know mine is accurate via an SAFC2.
