Default clutch after tune?

hi there. us asking for opinions. i know tuning always comes last bt then are there exceptions? i got myself a xtd stage 3 6 puck and was thinkng to install them after i got my car tuned. as i dun wanna waste the time breaking in the clutch then send them for it for tuning. is it not advisable?

There's still a short break in period with the ceramic/metal compounds, although some racecars don't have time to do that so they just give it hell.

There are kevlar/organic 6 puck setups that require normal break in or you get bad clutch shudder.
