Can you use a handheld on a tuned pcm?
First off I am not very educated on tuning so please excuse my lack of knowledge. My question is this, can I use a handheld tuner that came with a Magnacharger side mount kit on a custom tuned PCM if the PCM is only tuned on cetain areas. Example, only change shift points, redline and remove top speed limiter and leave the fuel modifications up to the handheld tuner. If anyone has any ideas on this I would love to hear what you think. If it absolutely cant be done then I would like to hear that before I persue this any further. Thanks for the help.

Jerry2500 has a Nelson tune and I think that he uses a Predator to monitor spark, IAT, and KR. I am not sure if he can use it to change other things in the tune or not. Maybe he will se this post and tell us or you can send him a PM.

I've never heard of a handheld being able to delete EGR and O2's, but I'm not sure what the Magnacharger handheld is capable of...it would say in the user's guide, but I really doubt that it can do that. You have a Wait4Me tune correct? You could try giving Jesse a call and see what he recommends...I thought that he had a free upgrade policy.
