This was $5000 worth of S/C and install, plus another $700-800 in gauges...

Congrats, those are good numbers... I REALLY want to get this kit myself and have been thinking about getting it come bonus time.
Regarding a meth kit, my buddy has a non-intercolled Paxton Novi and he installed a meth kit on his and I believe he dyno'd at 417hp and 412ft/lbs. The downside is that it takes up a fairly large portion of his truck. Add that to his Shaker 1000 sub and the trunk quickly becomes less functional. Though with this being a weekend toy it might not matter that much for you.
If you want to run a guy with a Hellion Turbo to see the performance comparision just let me know, my buddy lives just north of Dallas on his GT and has one.

Thanks guys, I'm anxious to drive the car more! I need to go buy some ramps and change the oil this weekend... man, I hate driving up on ramps, they freak me out. I have a stack of other mods sitting here too: CDC classic chin, GT500 spoiler, turn signal smoke tint, MRT shift ****, and ghost flames for the hood.
The rest of the family will be out of town from tomorrow until next Friday, and I have a couple of vacation days left, so I'll have plenty of time to work on the car.

Oh I almost forgot, I sent my dyno sheet to Brenspeed and this was their reply:
"That is good power for a 5800 RPM pull. We run the Dyno pulls to 6500 RPM. If you would have done that you would have probably seen 410 - 415."
