if you're sending it out or getting a custom reflash...then wait
if you're getting a diy reflash, then you can go for it now

So basically you have a spacer, an intake, and a cat-back exhaust. Although the other mods are nice, they are completely irrelivant to an ecu flash. In my opininon the flash should be the absolute last mod you do. If you plan on eventually getting HFC's and headers down the road, do them first, and then have your car flashed. Reason being a tune should be used to utilized to make the most out of all of your mods. If you tune now, then change your set-up later, your current tune will leave you running less than optimal.

Good luck!

since you have a sway bar, I'd almost suggest you do it, but you should wait til you get a lot of breathing mods done.

i'd probably wait until you get HFC.

cats and plenum spacer affect the A/F ratio the most.

Best solution is to buy a flash that you can change any time you want and update the tune with any mod you make. That way you're not stuck with a reflash that was for your car as it sat 6 months ago.

You can do a reflash with no mods, maybe you want a race map that runs a little rich so that when you're at the track flogging your car it won't ping or run hot. Maybe you'd like an economy map for when you're daily driving your car (gas prices will only go up from here guys, sorry to break it to you). Then theres always a valet map, thats a good one if you are loaning your car out, or letting someone valet park it.

But lets say you don't want any of those, you want your tune to do the things you want it to. Theres only one company that offers you that ability. We don't just have off the shelf maps, we can offer eTune services, or you can buy our off the shelf product and later on when you have a bit more you can take it to one of our Pro Tuners like eipracing.com and have them build you a specific dyno tuned map for your car.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
