Im about 4 hours or so south of you, give or take 30 min to an hour. The auto shouldnt be any issue at all and you "should" be able to drive and put as many miles on it as needed until you can get a tune. I can tell it needs a tune pretty bad, as it starts to die out pretty quick after 4500. Id guess Im in the same boat as the guys at MM&FF were when they installed theres, with the stock tune it started going downhill pretty quick at a low rpm, then picked up a buttload of power with just a tune and extended the rpm range quite a bit. They made 271whp through an auto with less compression than mine has(buy quite a bit) and a good intake, Id imagine 300whp with this engine and 350-360wtq shouldnt be an issue with a spot on tune and a good intake.
However, if it doesnt sell Ill be quite content in using the shortblock I have now. For a few hundred more Ill even do the install for you.
BTW, IMO r3ds car will pull on away from this stock cam/head car with the set of longtubes. I think 300whp is roughly what anyone is gonna get no matter what heads/cams are used until the longtubes and CORRECT intake are put on.
