Default Engine break-in with Procharger

I was wondering if anyone else had redone their whole engine at once and how did you break it in an tune at the same time?

My mods are as follows:

Forged 347 (9.5:1 compression)
LS6 intake
LS6 heads
Kooks 1 3/4 long tube heads with off-road y-pipe
Brute Speed blower cam (232/240 .595 .608 115 LSA)
60 lbs injectors
Monster Stage 3 clutch
P1SC supercharger, plan on running around 10 lbs

I have a wideband an HP tuners. Has any ever assembled their motor and then tuned it during the break in?

Is it worth while to purchase a mail order tune to get me started? If I do purchase a tune, are they any good? I think my set-up isn't too wild and a few people should have something close to it.

Also, what kind of tune do most people run? Is open loop SD the easiest way to go?

I break them in at WOT on the dyno. The tune has to be good or get it there quickly.

Have you ever tuned a forced induction car before? It sounds like you haven't, and you can get yourself into trouble real quick. Steve at Frost should be able to supply you with a mail order tune, as your combination is pretty standard. Bob

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to find someone to supply a mail order tune.
