it wont blow up if you're running it NA i wouldn't think, just keep it off the rev limiter. it will probably lose some mph on the big end due to being pretty lean.

The cam and heads could hurt you without a tune. Seriously, don't take a chance! You've already dropped at least $2-$3k into the car, spend another $350 and get a dyno tune.
