I have an 06 truck but i have an 03 ficm at my house with 185 k miles on it, everything was tested and works normal, so my question is, if i put this ficm in my truck will it be able to put more power to the ground than my 06? Would my strategy change to an 03 and maybe get those better times?
Do you know if that 03 FICM was reflashed with a later flash? If it is an 03 than you should get a little bit of power andthrottle response out of it. I believe power hungry uses an 03 flash with the 05 heating strategy or something like that. I just bought a spare from the org and will be sending it out to be reburned by innovative. I think if you want the most performance id just send it out.
send it out dont mess with throwing a stocker on there. from what i was told you have to change your computer out with it. one of my friends changes both of them to 03 and he liked it but once eric tunes your ficm your set. he can pretty much change your strategy to whatever you want. thats what he told me.
i got an extra and sent it to someone that i cant mention right now but it should run like a raped ape. i dont know if they want me telling anyone that they do ficms yet lol. i figured i would tease you guys a little bit lol
Powerhungry does exactly what SamW said, 03 flash with 05 heating strategy. It's good for better low end response and maybe 15-20hp on the dyno...
Innovative actually writes their own strategy for it, and its good for closer to 70hp from what I've read.
They are supposed to really increase the bottom end power on the truck.
I've been shopping around for a while for a fair priced used one to send to Innovative. If you already have Innovative tuning, you should send the FICM to them to have it tuned. Even PowerHungry recommends this as their tuning will complement itself between the SCT and the FICM.
Yeah the list is very long! I sent mine in on the 26th of May and got a call Monday wanting my address so they could send it back but hey it's worth the wait. If it's anything like Eric's tunes it should run like a raped ape! :evil
Are you guys running the FICM moderate or Race reprogram? I had heard that the race took some time in the morning warming the truck before you could go anywhere
unless your running big injectors 0ver 250 than go with the mild reburn. When I do injectors im going to have 190s so there was no need to go with anything more.
