I agree. For the EEC-IV there are three options: custom chip tune, Tweecer, or PMS. That handheld device that your friend is selling may or may not interface with the PCM. I strongly suggest that you stick to parts designed to work with the Ford PCM. You will avoid a lot of headaches and it will be cheaper in the long run.

I have an SCT custom tune, btw.

corection it does not control timing and its 500 rpm adjustable

A SAFC is a band-aid, all it does is intercept the voltage signal coming out of the AFM, and so it has many drawbacks.

If a car is only having minor changes made to it, a SAFC can be handy to smooth out the AF ratio, but at a cost, namely the ignition timing curve, when you lean things out by more than a few percent, the ECU over-advances the timing, and the opposite applies when enrichening.

This is why they're wholy unsuitable for fitting larger injectors, since all it will do is give you a good AF curve, but turn your torque curve into a messy zigzag.

If you're going to make a fuelling change without the aid of a Tweecer, etc - and want to make good use of a SAFC then go with a recalibrated MAF as well, so you can then use it to smooth out some kinks in the curves without sacrificing drivability.

SAFC's were all the rage over here a few years ago, until much more effective solutions came to the market in the form of chipping, and more powerful piggybacks.
