Sure, you can. It's not fun, but you can. I'd recommend waiting on the cam install if possible and breaking the clutch in first. I drove mine without tuning a small amount (A4 with 3500 stall at the time) and it wasn't all that bad once I got it started. The only times I took it places I left it running the entire time, as getting it started and running was the hard part. Not killing it when coming to a stop was sometimes tricky as well. This was all after I drilled the throttle body out a little too.

you are not slamming gears on a dyno, you get it in fourth and pull to red line, and then shut down. That will not harm your clutch. There really isnt much resistance on a dyno either, so its not like your clutch will be holding a crazy amount of power. Go ahead and dyno tune, your clutch will be fine.
