RPM and VSS are from different sensors and pins on the PCM.
But it sounds like your wiring is suspect somewhere. You might want to get a wiring diagram and do some traces to check all your connections etc.

If the tachomoter is not working it could be cam sensor not wired (or switched) correctly. Did you buy an aftermarket harness for this? Have confirmed if you speedometer is working or just assuming?

I had this problem when I did my LS2 conversion, it was the cam sprocket that was wrong, causing the cam sensor not to pick up the signal correctly, causing the tach not to work and not starting very easy.
I would start with the cam sensor and wires, then if that is all correct, double check the sprocket part number, you can do a search for this and you will find my thread

Its A Complete Crate Engine And Yes There Is An Aftermarket Harness Extension For The Front Under The Timing Cover , But I Dont See For A Crate Engine How That Could Affect The Rpm Gague

Did you just flip the wires on the Cam sensor or what? Thanks!
