There is no way I would tune with a hand held on a supercharged car. Proper Air Fuel ratio is super important and the hand helds have no way to dial it in.

BUT-- if you buy an aftermarket super charger like a maggie--they send along a pre programmed base tune for you that you download via a Superchips handheld--but the furnished program is nothing like the program availiable from their off the shelf version . It covers many more tables that aren't touched with the basic version.---It is really just a starting point and will need additional tweeking---That can't be done without the likes of HP Tuners or EFILIVE

I would never use a handheld tuner on a forced induction engine...or on any heavily modified engine for that matter. You need to look into HP Tuners or EFI Live.

I would say any of the hand helds would be great if you like blowing up and rebuilding stuff!
