Yes you can drive it without a tune, it'll drive fine, probably run rich, but it'll run and drive
FWIW mine was running rich for about a week, (avg 16mpg) its since settled down to pre header gas mileage (19mpg)

You will be fine, actually you might want to drive it a little so all of the codes pop up, this way you will not miss anything after a tune.

You can run it with out a tune and be perfectly fine. If you plan on bigger mods in the near future, I'd wait and just have them tune for everything in one visit.
