Default What order do you tune parameters?

hey guys, I was wondering if anyone around here would like to share any procedures they go through when doing their tunes. Ive kinda been trying to come up with a cheat sheet I can refer to so I dont miss anything when Im going through all the steps and so that I dont jump around out of order. Like start with base things such as gears, speedo, fans, IFR table ect. Then Idle tuning like which tables you hit first and last. Moving to the VE and OL table then PE and which histograms to look at like AFR error vs RPM & MAP. Then Timing and histograms for KR. Obviously theres a lot to remember and I like being able to check things off and do it in the right order. I figured newbies and experienced guys alike would benefit from something like this and you dont waste time messing with stuff once only to have to change it again later cause you got sidetracked and messed with things before you should have and conversely tuning the car with certain things you forgot to enter and end up having to redo it. So I guess if anyone wants to list out what order they do things (not necessarily how to do each step, just what order you do the steps) it would help everybody. If not I guess Ill take it that people keep these type of things close to the chest and dont like to just divulge it to the public. Otherwise Id like to see what others do when doing their tunes
