...............runs perfect. lol

I checked the fuel pressure, perfect at 39.5 PSI, no bolts loose, and nothing out of the ordinary.

Started up perfect: 1,400 rpms, 12.4 then after a few seconds 14.5-15.2.
1 minute in: rmps @1,100 and AFR: 15.4-16.2
2-3 minutes: 130 on temperature gauge, rpms@ 1050, AFR@ 14.7-15.6
Pushed the throttle, went to 12.4, perfect.
Car heated up more: temperature at "L", rmps @ 1025, AFR@ 15.2-15.6 +/- .2

Drove it:
Temp at "A," regular acceleration @ 13.2-14.4, coast @ 14.4, all half throttles and WOT in 12's. Idle bounced between 14.7-15.8 regularly, and sometimes hit 16.2, but not for more than a split second.

Drove it for 7 miles, got up to 60 MPH, and drove perfect. No issues.

Thank you guys SO MUCH for all your patients and answering all my OCD questions!!! Seriously, thank you. Obviously I'm going to keep my eye on her for a little while, but I'm enjoying every inch that I'm driving this beast. I think I'm going to call the tuner today and tell him to hold off for a little while until I can driver her for a few hundred miles. That way I can do a proper shake down & make sure everything is good to go. In say 700 miles or so I may just pay the $450 either for the quarter horse and learn how to tune myself or pay the $450 for the dyno tune. For now, CAR SHOWS AND SHIFTING AGAIN!!!!! I've waited so long to have a nice engine bay and engine. Whenever I go to car shows, I was always proud until I had to pop the hood. lol

Here it is now. It's dirty on the engine bay still, but I'm currently shining it up and I powder coated the BBk intake black and need to order black couplers.

You can see the engine bay a little better. I chose to paint it black so I could easily fix it if/when I scratch it.
