Since your rearend ratio has been changed, the error will be different at different speeds. I would take a number of different readings at different speeds and then decide if it something that can be lived with. You can buy an adapter to correct for the error if you know what it is.

It looks like you are about 14% low so if you have an adaptor made to increase the cable speed by 1.14 all of your ranges will be very close.

This ebay seller custom makes GM adaptors...
