i'm not sure wt\ith the unit that you are talking about ,but i have a diablo tuner and that holds one tune for one car. it swapsout the factory program saves it and loads the custom tune, however you can still adjust your timing adjust shift points recalabrate for gear changes &pull codes if a problem pops up.you won't be able to use your tuners custom tune on two cars at once , also i'm not sure if you can use the tuner for v-6 & v-8 you may need to use different tuners for each(not sure about that) .

The same XCal 2 hand held tuner will work for both the V6 and the V8, but you can't use it simultaneously on both vehicles at the same time.
