Not just Awake, but Awake with a vengeance!
Congratulations!!
One suggestion- take data every single time you start the car. And make sure the WB is alive and giving data before you start.
EVERY TIME. Trust me, the massive amount of data will be helpful to tune the car.
That is berkeleying beautiful!

BTW, if you need help interpreting the data, just ask. Personally, I've been doing engine calibration for over 20 years, and am happy to offer advice. And there are plenty of others here who have a lot of experience, too, particularly in MS.

I may just end up taking you up on that. I enjoy tuning but I always want to learn more.

The video doesn't do it justice. It sounds so damn nice. This is a euro Jalpa exhaust system. I got rid of the US version (which is quieter, more muffled). The euro setup they didn't hold back on nearly as much and has a reputation for being a lot louder, and far nicer.
The other nice thing is that I don't have to deal with the giant aluminum shroud around it that takes up so much space. More engine bay area.

That there is a bourbon and cigar moment. Congrats and thank you for bringing that noise into life.

I've got a behike 56 from 2010 that's been sitting in my humidor waiting for the moment that the car is actually on the road. I had some scotch and a cigar last night to celebrate though. A friend sent me the behike and I thought, "Well, these aren't super easy to get, so I'm going to save this for something special."
The hardest part is out of the way. The rest is just wiring now, putting the interior together, the gauges, etc.

I absolutely adore the v8 Lamborghini cars. They sound so damn good and are so unique. They are completely different sounding than the ferrari v8 cars. Italian muscle at its finest. I fell in love with the v8 cars when I was a kid and have had a fixation on them ever since.
Very cool! What an interesting sound it has!
Just watching the throttle linkages gave me movement.

Will you be mounting new tires before the first drive?

Oh definitely. They're cracking and look like hell. I wouldn't trust them a bit.
