She lives!!!! Man I can't even begin to tell you how good it feels to have this thing running!! Pulled a late night, but it was worth it. It's late, I'm tired, but I wanted to upload the vid of the first start before I went to bed. Here ya go!

Thanks guys!!!
Took her out for her maiden voyage last night to put a load on the engine and help seat the rings. Nothing more than about 1/4 throttle, but ran up the rpms pretty good. Setup a date with EFI Alchemy for dyno/tuning on Wednesday! I'll definitely update with numbers!

Alright, just got in from the dyno session and enjoying my car for the first time in 9 months!
I'm happy with the car, although I was certain she would dyno a little higher. Put down 399whp and 380rwtq. She drives like a beast and definitely feels faster than the MS4 cam only car I used to own. I'm worried about mph at the track more than dyno numbers anyways. Hopefully I'll hit gville next Wednesday.
The only two Dyno "excuses" I can think of are 9" with 4.11 gears, 93 degrees and no SAE correction factor (1.00), and only 50 miles on rebuilt shortblock
Anyways Here's the graph and vid

That's not bad. I wish mine put down that kind of power. Dyno numbers don't mean anything, unless your paper racing. If you go out there next Wednesday I'll try to make it out if I'm not working.

As you mentioned Brian, the 9 inch rear will definitely eat some power, and a fresh motor will be tight and loose some power on the friction that will change. Sounds like a good beginning; so get some #s on the strip!!!

12.6@116, 2.1 60', 2300DA.
not disappointed in the results due to the DA, spinning through 1st, most of second, and some of third. Slowing down shifts and peddling didn't help any with ET or mph. My camera decided not to work before I left the house, so I'm currently trying to gather vids from some friends.
