It will depend on how close the tune is with no fuel trimming going on. Relatively stock vehicles will run OK without them. No different than how a vehicle would run if on O2 sensor went bad. It will run better without O2s and open manifolds than with O2s and open manifolds. Smart thing to do would be to wait until everything is hooked up before you try and start it.

4.8, look on AutoZone's website for Chevy Silverado with the 4.8L. If they don't fit the plug take them back. But do not put them in the bung until you know they fit the connector.
