Default To wait or not?? Critique my starter tune!!!

Homeported heads and cam in sig completed today. Using EFILive and tuning for the first time.

I got the starter individual values (fan, cags, shift RPM, etc....) and fuel injector scaling, as well as a starter VE table tune loaded into computer today. The starter VE tune involves percent changes (relative to stock) from 400 RPM to limit as follows:

RPM % Change
400.0 -10.0
800.0 -5.0
1200.0 0.0
1600.0 5.0
2000.0 10.0
2400.0 15.0
2800.0 15.0
3200.0 15.0
3600.0 15.0
4000.0 15.0
4400.0 15.0
4800.0 15.0
5200.0 15.0
5600.0 15.0
6000.0 15.0
6400.0 15.0
6800.0 15.0
7200.0 15.0
7600.0 15.0
8000.0 15.0

Put maybe 5 miles on it today. no codes, no hesitation, no fuel smells, nothing other than a little more shaking at idle and power coming on under earlier throttle. Niiiiyyyyccceee and smmoooothhh

Drive it until I can log, or keep it in the garage?? Any comments on above simplified VE adjustments?

Hold off on the "just to be safe" answers please.

That is a good start. Now you need to do a bunch of logging to get the VE table in order.
Good luck. What cam did you go with?
