Nice... but here's my "I told you so" post... don't get your feelings all hurt.

Here's their dyno chart for that kit (just ignore the crazy torque anomalies from before the TC locks up):
270 hp, on one pull on a DynaPack. They claim that's "about 385 crank". More realistically looking at the average of those pulls, that's 250-260 at the wheels, which is generously estimated at 350 crank.
What did I say? Oh yeah:

You will probably be making around 350 crank on your current build, which is around 250 to 275 at the wheels, and that assumes you've got a tight low mileage motor.
I think you're inflating the numbers in your head a little. 250 at the wheels in an AWD car is actually *insanely* fast compared to 95% of the cars on the road. Don't be dissapointed when your current build comes back at under 300awhp.

Maybe... just maybe... I've learned something in the $50,000 of work I've done (and re-done... and re-done a third time, and will probable have to do again) to my car over the last 5 years.
That said, I hope the install goes well, and I hope you beat the numbers put down by their prototype car. I also hope that you realize an SVX with 250awhp is *rediculously* fast. I can't wait to see it!
