Among other things, that means the I constant in a velocity controller will have the same effect as the P constant in a position controller.
I'm not sure what options are available in LABVIEW, but the simplest way to do this in Java, C++, and onboard PID with a Talon SRX is to just add a feedforward term.

To add feedforward (kF): remove all other constants, set the setpoint to a specific speed (I've heard 3/4 of max speed is usually pretty good). Then increase the kF until the actual speed matches the setpoint. From there, you can start to play with small values of P and I to get your controller more accurate.
