Exclamation OK...Let's talk TUNERS

You will not find a tuner for your vehicle, because one doesnt exist. You will only be able to use a "chip" from one of the manufacturers. Hypertech is crap. The two top dogs are Superchips and the Diablo Sport. I believe you will net the most power with the Diablo.

The box code can be found on your computer. I believe it is a 4 digit alphanumeric.

Your joking right? Right from their site:
What Is The TwEECer?
The TwEECer is an adapter which connects to the J3 service port of a Ford EEC PCM, giving you the ability to substitute parameters in the calibration data with parameters that match the modifications which you have made to your engine. So as you add performance to your car, you can easily match the EEC's calibration to your combo.
How?
Using your Laptop or Desktop PC, you connect the TwEECer to the USB port and run the user interface software CalEdit, which comes with the TwEECer. CalEdit gives you a very nice and easy to use graphical user interface for making changes to your calibration. Once you have your calibration setup as you like, then write/save the binary to disk and to the TwEECer.
