Thanks, should be here today
Also, I believe I've found the clutch switch answer, maybe someone here can verify that I'm correct.
I had only bypassed the starter interlock switch (1) and not the 'clutch switch' (2) as seen in the field manual pic above.
Checking the pinout diagram it shows that the ecu senses the clutch engagement via the clutch switch (pin 1Q/Q) and not by engagement of the starter interlock switch.
I wasn't aware there were two different sensors before now.

Not to bring this back from the dead, but I made a discover yesterday that completely explains the issues I had with startup and idle and I haven't seen anything about this specific to the adaptronic online here.
After initial installation I was attempting the use what I thought was the OEM 1.3 bar map sensor that came in the car and my settings in wari reflected that. It would start but then immediately went into a super rich stumbling idle hunt. Zac at addicted performance helped me confirm that it was a map sensor calibration issue so I simply moved to the built in 4 bar and moved on.
I since sold my power fc to a friend who once installed seemed to be having the same rich stumbling idle issue with his car, however when he plugged the stock ECU back it the idle went back to normal.
Weird huh...it worked fine when it came out of mine...
Turns out my car had the GM 3 bar map sensor installed when I bought it and the power fc was set to read the scaled values from the 3 bar sensor. Which explains my idle issue when trying to run the car with the OEM 1.3 bar map sensor selected in wari as well as his idle issue where his car is seeing a higher map value that what is actually present and dumping too much fuel. Major face-palm here after the fact.
Not that this issue is ground breaking or anything special, but I see that the ability for nearly anyone to generate a safe base map (regardless of tuning history) and safely drive the car to someone more experienced to tune as a HUGE positive associated with this ECU.
