After a long wait, we got her on last night and I brought her home :D
I ended up taking the car to a local tech as the price for install couldn't be beat ($450 for install and $250 for dyno tune). It was installed by AIR (American Intense Racing). The LS2 blower on the LS6 engine isn't as straight forward as we thought and I'm surely glad that I had someone install it because it would have been pushing my technical level had it been a straight forward install.
We didn't get a baseline dyno but from what I've been seeing, V's have been hitting around 340RWHP-ish.
I am running the LS2 MP112 blower, 90mm TB and stock 2.8 pulley (for now) and we dyno'd in at 430RWHP (Dyno sheets are pending from Dyno Pro's who are out of town till monday now). I assume I'm only around 5 PSI with the stock pulley.
I'm not sure if that is low for RWHP numbers or not but keep in mind, I have a stock everything else.
Headers/FI CAM/160 T-Stat will be the next batch of performance mods for which I'll have to re-dyno and my tuner is wanting to convert me over to E-85 after I get the Headers/Cam/T-stat bought and put on.
Over-all, I'm pretty stoked! It's nice to have that Instant power. I thought the maggie would be pretty quiet but she screams when you hit boost. She screams louder than my muffler delete does which is really nice but runs really quiet at idle.
Pics are pending still as I gotta get it cleaned up a bit but wanted to let some of you guys know!
WOOOOHOOOOO!
PS: Thanks to many of you guys for answering some of my questions and to those pioneers who took this path before me and contributed feedback to the site to make it easier for the rest of us!
