Default safe to drive SC untuned for 50 miles?

So I am looking at my options for getting a supercharger kit installed in my Z. I have figured that I can save around 1k in labor costs having it installed at a tuner shop closeby. Will there be any problems with me driving the car, untuned with the SC kit for 40-50 miles to a Z specialist shop to tune?

Also, hoe easy is it to swap out the pulleys for more boost in the future? I am considering getting a stage 2 but doing less boost because the 7AT is iffy with handling 500whp (plan to keep it more in the 440whp range). This would leave me the option of going higher in the future if I decide it's worth it to do the GTM valve body upgrade.

Also any experience form guys with autos running boost and tranny reliability at your power levels would be helpful as well.
