Glad to hear it finally running! Get 'er on the dyno so we can see some wheelspin on the rollers! 
Congrats are due! There is NOTHING more nerve-wracking/exciting than starting up a long time and expensive build.
Oh, unless you're on E85, lean that thing out!

The cam is a 238-242 .605-.610 115 lsa.
It does have a pretty good sound to it, but I have just started tuning it. I played with the AFR and VE tables tonight a little, ended up bringing the base fuel pressure down to 30 psi, now it idles in the 14's. Throttle response is awesome, might even take it around the block tomorrow.

Congrats!!! I cant wait to see what she puts down. I just happen to be building the EXACT same setup as you, 370 with L92's and a 4788, pistons and all except the crazy kick *** looking manifolds lol. When I found your car on here I was pumped to see what she will do!!! Im about 2 months out from getting mine rolling so you better believe I will be watching! Congrats again and good luck and keep us up to date!

I agree, with mine I enver left the hood closed after I had been driving I slowly warmed up to the idea of closing it since there was alot of hot parts near. of course I have a fiberglass hood on a C4 corvette so.. just be weary of it for the first little bit!

Yeah we tested it a bit when we first fabbed the turbo kit, but we never got it glowing red hot. I will keep an eye on it. The WS6 hood has a bunch of room. Getting ready to take it for a spin right now.
i can see the grin from here...

Shakedown drive went well! The alternator is not working, so I need to figure that out. Coolant temps averaged 183*, and never got hotter than 195*.
The datalogs show boost spikes of 9.5 psi, with average around 7 psi. I have a 7.5 psi spring in the gate, so that seems right. I wanted to try it out on the wastegate only before I hook up the Eboost2.
The sound and power is awesome!
I still need to hook up the Norris Motorsports catch can and do a little tuning before I hit the dyno. This thing is an animal!!!!!

Still having alternator issues, I think the regulator is out of it, so new one will take a few days to get. I took it down the road and back this morning, cold start is getting better, didn't even stall. I never saw more then 4000 rpm for a second or 2 and boost was coming up quick at part throttle (5-7 psi), the tires just went up instantly and the car wanted to dance. Just babying the throttle. Sticky tires will be a must before any kind of full throttle testing! You have to love the sound of a turbo spooling and a blow off valve, especially at 7:30 a.m.
