Default will running without tune hurt?

i am swapping to Lpp race headers, ORY, Ls6 manifold, and SLP lid...

i plan to remove all A.I.R. and E.G.R. and do all my installs in 2 days with it hurt my car if i drive it any with the mods done and no tune?....

i plan to have it tuned very soon by the end of the week but i was gonna make sure its ok to run it and check things over good for leaks and maybe drive it down road to see if i messed up anything..

thanks fellas!

you'll be fine, but going WOT probably isn't the greatest idea till it's tuned. if you're on a stock cam tho you prolly won't hurt anything.

youll be okay, i have pretty much same mods except for the ls6 intake and it runs good. ses light is on because of the rear o2s, egr and air delete. I noticed a difference with the headers and free mods but wont be able to really tell how much until the next track night.

You will be fine bud. I completed my LT's & new ORY a couple of months ago. Still have not had it retuned. Granted mine is not a daily driver though. But i havent noticed any problems.

Keep your foot out of it and you should be fine... get it tuned before you test it "all out"
