KB 2.8 safe to baby to tuners?

As title says I have a 2.8L Kenne Bell I'm putting on my Camaro with a built engine. Car is cammed also and on a street tune and running a little rich. Would I be able to put the KB kit on it and baby it to the Dyno that's about an hour away? I'd like to have it on since I need a tune/calibration anyways for the 3.91s I just did on it so would like to have it all done at once.

Be aware that it’s hard to stay out of boost with a PD supercharger. They are always making boost. You neee to really baby it and accelerate slowly. I assure you if you step on the accelerator and open up the throttle body that bypass will slam shut and you’ll see full boost instantly. Another way to ensure this is to just disable the bypass. Tie wrap it open. Or unplug the boost lone going to it. Then it won’t go into boost.

BTW. I’ve got a KB 2.8 on my Camaro. Installed it myself. And I tune myself. . Happy to help if you have any questions.
