Tune required for 80mm throttle body and ported intake manifold?

I'm planning on installing an 80mm throttle body and ported intake manifold. I am aware that the car will benefit much more with a tune, but will I be ok to run it without one? I am planning on tuning the car at some point, but I just want to make sure I won't do any damage by installing these parts, and using it for a bit without a tune. Thanks!

No damage or codes. I have the jacfab ported intake manifold and soler throttle body and controller. Also running a k&n intake, green race filter with the velossatech bigmouth. Over 20,000 miles and no issues.

Thanks! Did you notice any difference in installing these even without a tune?

Noticed a decent bump. Nothing too drastic but with all my other upgrades I'm faster in autocross than most of the other cars, including my buddies v8 Camaro. Some guy at the last event who had a SS 1LE, cammed, tuned, E85 claiming 520+rwhp... We ran about the same time with me running faster than him a few of the heats.

Here's my comprehensive list for the most part

Good to know! I wasn't worried about the IM, but I figured the larger TB would cause issues.

Have you done any datalogging, and do you know what neighborhood your long term fuel trims are in?

Haven't done any data logging, had it dyno'd, or monitored the fuel trim. Nearest shops that do are several hours away and with a one year old at home it gets a little hard to run out for the full day on a weekend. Hasn't caused me issues and I race it hard and daily driver 100+ miles everyday. Runs smooth and I just hit 134,000 miles this morning and still going strong.
