The tach is unlikely to be related unless the ECM (that runs it) is getting flaky.
Usual culprits for poor performance after a header install:
1. O2 sensor not replaced with a fresh one while you were at it and/or the wiring to it is screwed up or melted against the exhaust due to poor wire routing.
2. Spark plug wires burned against a header tube- again, poor wire routing.
After that stuff can get kinda weird.
