So im finishing up on my ms4 cam, ported heads, and ls6 intake swap. After buying all this to do it i am tight on cash for a while, so i was wondering if i would be able to drive it untuned for about a month before i can save money to tune it? i just installed 4.10s to i kinda want to be able to drive to break them in before i take it on the dyno. And if i do drive it can i take it to redline ever or just kinda daily drive around.

Well if i drill a hole or adjust the screw on the throttle body wont that get me more air? And what is the reasoning that i cant get on it at all without it tuned? I heard there is one guy running around on here with this cam that hasnt tuned his at all (i would never do that) im just low on money right now and would like to get into it a little maybe not all out but ya know?

The reason you don't want to beat on it is because you could be running rich or lean. You could foul out your plugs or you could detonate causing all kinds of problems.
