Question: Once I get back SC from Kong, and all put back together, can I drive the car, or do I have to wait till its retuned?
Car has a AFE CAI, AWE exhaust and Soler TB, with HP tune.
I just added ported SC with 2.31 pulley. Been told I shouldn't drive till I get retuned etc. What is the opinion?

You can drive it. Just stay mostly out of or at low boost. I replaced the stock LT4 supercharger on my ZL1 last year with a Magnuson 2300, NW 103mm tb, and a 5" intake. I put 500 low boost miles on it before I took it in to get tuned. Ran fine and I had no problems.

Yea, you'll be fine to drive it easy until you get it tuned.

You can drive it around town or to your tuner without any issue as long as you stay out of boost.
