Can you use a Sct handheld tuner on these cars or not I hear yes and no, websites say for 96 and up models. I do have a Sct chip installed, Sct website shows some type of wire I could plug directly into my chip then I think I could use a handheld, or should I just get a dynotune and a new burn on my chip, does anybody have a Eliminator chip like I have.

Handhelds will only work on 94-95 V6 Mustangs, not V8's because they are not OBD 2. The plug-in on the chip is for a switch cable. Chips in one form or another are your only option.

no i dont think you can use handheld tuners on our cars. I was thinking about getting the 4 bank eliminator chip from americanmuscle.com because you can get 5 free custom tunes and it would be a dial switch that would go in either your coin tray or cigaret lighter so you can switch it on the fly which is pretty sweet

I allready have the eliminator chip with 1 burn so I'll just stick with that it came with the car, I just want something I can play around with and adjust, but I guess I'll leave that up to a good dynotune.

With AEM, Tweecer, PMS, and the like ...............

You can adjust things to your hearts content ... and then some

Another great thing about those methods is you can tune in real
time on the street so you duplicate all different kinds of driving
conditions

That is not always how it is with a Dynotune
