Big Thanks to Race Proven Motorsports! Took my recently finished build to Race Proven Motorsports in Delaware. I went through quite a process interviewing different shops/tuners and Fran made me the most comfortable. We took the car down from NJ to Fran's shop to get a full tune on the setup below. Fran and his staff were top notch and I never felt more comfortable having my car in someone else's hands. As with probably any new setup, there will be a few snags but RPM took care of everything.
I also didn't mind the comfortable lounge with flat screen tv/movies to keep me calm in between dyno pulls.
For those unfamiliar with the build, here is the link to the build thread and a list of mods have been included below. This was a home built setup and my first time building an engine in general from the block up.

Engine:
383 LT1 4-bolt splayed mains
Forged JE -31cc Blower Pistons
Forged Callies Dragonslayer Crank
Forged Callies 5.7 Rods
Custom LE Blower Cam
Trickflow 21 deg heads - Worked by LE (ported, polished, new valves, dual springs, etc)
Ported LT1 Intake by LE
Computer:
EFI Connection LS1 PCM Conversion
Blower:
Procharger F1-A 12-rib race system
Race Open Bypass
Trans/Clutch:
McLeod Street Twin
Level 3 Tick Performance T56
Fuel:
Twin In-tank Walbro setup
80lb High Imp. Injectors
Snow Stage 2 Meth
The results are below and I'm very very pleased with the numbers. I was hoping for anything over 650rwhp and the car did even better. RPM mentioned that it will pick up a bit more with some miles on it but again, I'm very happy with the way everything went. As I planned with the parts selection, the driveability is much improved over the old heads/cam setup with the cc306 and spec 3 clutch. The rest is up for me to finish up and get it all set for the open road and eventually the track.
On to the numbers and video.

Yes the lounge there is very comfortable, fell asleep on the couch my first time there. 
The work they do at RPM is 2nd to none, I wouldn't trust anyone else as much as them with my car.
