Got to drive around a bit this evening. I'm not too sure how many of you would ride around in your Corvettes with the hood off, but I did it! 
After getting a few bugs worked out to keep the car from going into reduced power mode, I think I drove it around for an hour or so.
Initial impressions...this things moves a TON of air. I'm going to have to re-learn how to drive. The usual throttle position I'd use to pull away from a light has changed drastically with the heads/cam/throttle body all moving so much more air. I looked like someone that had never driven a stick shift car before.
At ~40% throttle position, 75-80mph comes up quick when getting on the interstate. I can't wait to get it completely dialed in. After driving it around for a bit, I'm a tad more optimistic about the power it's going to make than before.

I've been working on driveability before putting it on the dyno.
It's a slow process, and I'm not sure how much longer I can handle not knowing how much power it's going to take.
I might have to turn it over to a professional before long!

Finally put the car on the local Mustang Dyno (lovingly referred to as the Heartbreaker) today.
415/368 were the final numbers.
I can't thank Scott at Intune enough for burning his Sunday to do the WOT tuning and touching up the driveability.
He's top notch in every respect, and I feel very lucky to have such a knowledgeable resource so close by.

I've been FI before in another car I had, so I decided to go NA this go around.
