Performance won't be affected, however you won't be able to put the car into competitive driving mode. That goes for either having the sensors installed with the tires aired down, or not having sensors in the rear at all. However that shouldn't be an issue as you'll likely want to defeat traction control as well as stability control for the drag strip.

I normally swap out tires for track days (all 4) they don't have TPMS in them, and by the time I make it to the track (1 Hr) the car has figured it out, and lets me put it into competitive mode or stability off mode.
I also know of some guys that placed tpms in some pvc pipe with endcaps, and pressurized it, then threw them in the trunk, that way the car sees the pressure is all good.

U cannot mess with the tpms with hptuners. The tpms is part of the bcm, not pcm, and hptuners is unable to communicate with the bcm. U can however shut the tpms off with a tech 2. Or u can just remove the tpms sensors all together and disable the tpms that way.
