Can I drive without a tune after headers & intake? I've just installed ARH headers and an LS6 intake on my '99 Z28, as well as a Fast Toys Ram Air, and also I removed the AIR and EGR.
Apart from that, my car is mechanically stock.
I'm planning to get a tune in the future... but can it wait a few weeks or months? And can I go wide open throttle before I get the tune, or is it not advisable?

FWIW I dont think you should have a problem going WOT with any of you mods thus far. However, a tune will yield better results for you mods. You may be on the lean side considering all your mods are to improve air flow. I dont know how fat the Fbodys run stock. If you pop a cel for a lean condition just drive nice until you can get tuned.

Thanks for your help, that answers my questions. 
I will put a LC-1 on it in the next few days, that should help with the monitoring of the AFR.
