Default 228/232 114 in an A4 without a TC

I have a 228/232 114 LSA .598/.598 cam as well as a 3500K Fuddle Converter.

I only have time this weekend to get one or the other installed.

I have a tune for the cam via HPTuners ready to go but was wondering if you all thought I should install the cam or TC first.

I am excited to get the cam in for obvious reasons since I have a GT 2-3 cam in right now. Would the driveability issues be too severe to enjoy without the TC? If so then I will do the TC first and get the cam in next weekend.

Thanks.

Converter first. You'll notice a huge difference on a stock car and an even bigger difference on an a cammed car. Your car is already cammed, so put the converter in first, enjoy it this week, and enjoy it more after you put the bigger cam in next weekend.

The car might not be too terribly fun to drive with the bigger cam and no TC, though the tune would obviously help a decent amount.

Do the 'verter first, the cam will hate the stocker. My cam is 218/222-115 and its about it for a stock converter.
