Hi I own a 2000 Mustang Gt and I plan on adding some stuff to my car (CAI, High performance spark plugs and coils, and long tubes) This setup will require a tune for my car to run right but here is the problem. I plan on supercharging my car in about 7 months and I will have to throw the car on a dyno. The question is can I download the dyno tune to the handheld tuner so I can keep modifying my car or will i just have to throw the car on the dyno everytime I do something after the supercharger goes on.
