Default Will my car run un-tuned?

I was wondering whether or not my car will run un-tuned. I have added a hotcam and increased bore ( .030 ). Will my car run ( not necessarily well ) on a stock tune for a few days? Will my car be hurt from this un-tuned usage?

I agree, it will run untuned; but will run much better with even a mail order tune.
