Will running the tranny without this cable burn it up? Anyone know for sure?

Modulates line pressure, in fact, that is the MAIN reason it is there, they aren't "kickdown cables" so much anymore, there is a lot more to it.
It is very bad to run without it hooked up and adjusted right.

As Josh said, it modulates line pressure. Soft shifts at light throttle, firmer shifts with more throttle.
If you leave it un-hooked, full-power shifts will still be soft and burn up clutches faster. I suppose though, that you could pin the cable at full draw (i.e., at WOT). I don't know what driving would be like this way, but you shouldn't have to worry about burning it up. Light throttle shifts will likely be noticibly firmer.
