It's definitely driveable. Just don't modify the cam gear settings (leave them at 0 degrees) and you'll be fine.

Your fine if you keep the cam gears at 0 degrees. When you start the car let it idle for about 15-20 min to break in the cams. Then your good to go.

Nope, nothing is going to break. As long as everything was installed correctly and the cam gears are still set to 0, you'll be fine. Provided your valves are not TOO loose after the install, you can rev to redline all day and still be fine without tuning.
