You wont actually need a programmer ,but if you accidently pull the nvram out while ign is still on and corrupt the nvsram memory ,or it gets corrupted somehow ,you will need a programmer to write the bin to the nvsram again .

If the engine runs ok on the stock memcal then yeah it can be used as a backup. Once you have got the tune to a point where your happy with it then it would be worth burning a memcal with your tuned bin.
