Driving untuned.... 408 I previously had a stock bottom heads/cam/fast/100mm maf car. It blew and now I'm going to a 408. I'll be running same injectors, maf, headers etc. Just different heads/cam/bottom end. Will the car be ok to drive on the tune for the other set up to break the engine in and drive to the dyno? In no way will I be going wot. Granny driving.
I wouldn't. With the MAF and same injectors it MIGHT keep fueling close enough but not worth the risk IMO. Lot of money wasted if you try and "save" a $150 flatbed ride and glaze the bores screwing up ring seal or worse case if it detonated and did damage.
I am sure the build tapped finances a bit but a little more cash to protect it is worth it.

Prolly the best person to ask is the tuner, they would know better than any keyboard jocky.
