Default Handheld for changing tunes on the fly?

Im used to mustang tuning, like carrying the SCT X-cal/LiveWire/Predator with 3 tunes to choose from, and can switch to any one in about 1 minute.

Is there something we can use, like a handheld tuner that can carry multiple tunes saved on it, and switch from an N/A tune to a Nitrous tune, maybe between runs?

What tuners/tuning software can be used? I really dont want to have to get a laptop for HPtuners...

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

EFILive has been working on that as well...I haven't followed it for awhile but that's one of the capabilities they were shooting for on the V2.

People on LS1tech said you can use an Xcal, or a Predator...

But who can tune for those? I know all the mustang tuners, does the file just have to be in .ll3 (SCT) format, or the predator format (i cant remember it)?

That is true. If you check on their forum board you will see that they are still concentrating on getting the bugs worked out of the stand-alone "BlackBox" logging and data viewing. After they get that out of Beta, they will begin working on stand alone tuning.

OOOHHHHH, I like the sound of that. I've been checking the forum their for the last few months and it seems that only you and 1 or 2 other people have even asked about it. Let's hope they get it going sooner rather than later. Any word when BB logging will be Officially out of beta?
