Default Converter or Tune?

Hey guys I have a converter sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. I was wanting to know if it would be better to install the converter THEN get the car tuned or go ahead and send the computer off for tuning, followed by the converter install.

What do you guys think would be the best route?

If the convertor is smaller then a 3600 stall you should be ok either way.If larger then that you're going to need a tune to give it some manners.

Converter then tune because then you can adjust the tranny tune to your driveability preferences with the converter.

Yeah, you will end up wanting a tune again anyway so you may as well do it all at once.
