Default From 2:73's to 3:73's.No tune, auto trans?

So I'm having my 3:73's installed tomorrow. I wanted to take it to a local place for them to do a basic tune IE adjust the shift points and compensate for the speedo. The only problem is that I might not be able to get it done until next week because they are pretty much packed. Will it really hurt me to drive it untuned for maybe a week? Thanks in advance! BTW auto trans car.

I drove my car with a 4.10 gear tune on my 3.23s for like a day or two, until I swapped the rear ends. It drove fine, but the speedo was off. If you don't get on it, I don't see why it couldn't work in a pinch.

Thanks for the info guys! I was just concerned with the shift point being being geared for the 2:73's.....
