Default Starting after H/C/I install?

Ok, so as the weather heads south and the date of my massive install is coming apon me, I have a question. After installing full boltons, with H/C/I, will it be SAFE to start/test drive the car prior to trailoring to the tuner? Probably a stupid question, that has been answered before, but the search didnt reveal anything.

make sure you don't rev too high though, don't want her running too lean.

Thanks guys. I dont think I am gonna be able to rev it too high. It wont be done to well into winter, just after its done, and before the tune I would like to make sure everything is fine with a little putt around the block or two.

Are you upgrading your injectors? If you are, I wouldn't start it up and drive it. Maybe fire it and leaving it running for a minute or two, but if you jumped to 36 lbs or higher, I'd trailer it or send/take your PCM to your tuner and have them do some basic adjustments to get you rolling.
