It depends what shop you go to, or how you plan on getting the tuning done. If you are allowed free updates then it doesn't matter. Mod and tune how the parts come in.

If you have to pay everytime you tune though, then I would suggest putting the cam and the converter in last. Everything else can go in without significantly effecting the running of the car without a tune.

Good Luck

Why the converter last? I'd do that first!

You can put the converter in first if the T/C lockup doesn't bother you.

Some people don't even mind driving around on the stock tune with a cam. Just a matter of preference I suppose.

If he just want to spend on tuning once, then I would wait until those items are in the car before spending the money on a tune.
