I don't think you can, most hand held programmers only work on one car at a time. I've only had experience with the Predator and HPP3 though.

gotcha, ok.

So after doing a lot of reading, if i get the 160 degree tstat, i NEED the tune so i can get the fans to come on earlier right? If i dont get the tune (or manual switch) will the stat still make a difference?

They will not make any difference without adding a switch or changing the PCM values when they come on. That is a real minor change. Maybe you can find someone that can do it for you.

it will make a diff if its 30 deg out and you are on the highway lol but no you wanna turn the fan temps down. coolant is only as cool as you make it. with a 160 stat it will be open as soon as the car gets that hot and prob never close. so the coolant will be hot
