I used the TwEECer in a SN95 with a V2 SC of a customer, and it worked fine. You do have to get into the details of the CBAZA logic.,,, same thing with Moates.

Thing about tweecers is that they are only as good as the guy using it, and the initial learning curve is steep but not really all that hard. Moates gear I use allows me to take my tweecer tune and burn it to a chip which plugs into the J3 port on the ECU freeing up your tweecer.

Dude im so lost i know absolutely nothing about this but Im going to need it when I upgrade past the bolt ons. Should I just take it to a shop and have it tuned when I get the tweecer and have them program the car for me?

It's a standalone, some companies offer it assembled, or unassembled. It can get cheap if you buy the unassembled version. diyautotune.com offers the msI 3.0 for around $180 (not including shipping) if i recall right. It does have quite a few features in it which are nice.
The only downside I've found with it so far is the lack of inputs & outputs, it's not a big problem unless you want to run quite a few accessories with it... it will support a few though.

If you do order one (unassembled or assembled) I would recommend specifying what type of car it's going to be for. The first install I did of one on a mustang I burned up 3 coils because it was setup for a different style ignition (the first one I installed in someones car was preassembled)

My personal experience after installing a couple, I love how cheap & easy they are to use.
It is a speed density setup which is nice for me since I primarily do forced induction kits & the air meter acts as a restriction, but some of you may not like having to ditch the air meter. If I'm not mistaken a few people have got an air meter to work with it. The ms1 & 2 are both batchfire setups which means emissions may take a hit at low engine speeds & in comparison fuel economy does aswell compared to sequential, but I've actually picked up a few mpg. Not trying to make it sound bad, just figured you should know what you're getting into before buying it. I like using them quite a bit.

I had a diagram on how to install one into a factory wiring harness if anyone is interested. https://mustangforums.com/forum/pipe...egasquirt.html
