I've been running PHP for a long time now. Recently switched to TSD SPD tune after a PM and GOGO manifold install. Runs like a top!!!

well thats probably just the original ficm strategy that was in his truck! he just has erics ecm tuning (which is why hes pondering if he should just use erics ficm tuning or to try yours or kems)

Running the new Atlas 80 from PHP and the Super Panties from TSD. The truck runs awesome. The spool up and low end pull over the stock FICM tune is unbelievable. The new Atlas 80 gave it even more grunt outta the hole and the mid range pull is somewhat like that of a rabid freight train. The spool up is damn near instantaneous as well. I love the PHP FICM tunes.

:jawdrop: I'm amazed that anyone still uses the Post-Buzz FICM strategy... Especially Eric. :jawdrop:

Eric doesn't use the post injector buzz strategy. I've ran both his moderate and mild FICM tunes with my 190/75% injectors and 64/71/70 turbo. I loved the moderate tune...it was very noticable. I took the moderate FICM off a couple months ago because it was giving the truck a real bad idle when cold...i believe it was starting to fail electronicly. I then installed the stock one off of my spare engine. He recommended me to get the mild FICM tune this time with his remote tuner because he said it'll be better with my 75% nozzles on my 190's. I installed it this past thursday and was very disappointed with it. I didn't notice any more throttle response and didn't notice the truck fueling and harder than when the FICM was stock. Thinking i just should've got the moderate tune again.

Went with the ficm +40. Thought about trying the hercules but didnt really see the need to the biggest in it.

Thanks. I just may go with that one then. I've been bouncing around between the 80 and 40. Bill said the 80 has some slight smoke without an ecm tune and I don't want that for emissions testing.

The usual, S&B CAI, MBRP 4" turbo back, EGR welded closed, 6.4 banjo's, CCV reroute. I made 451rwhp and 999rwtq on this setup on Bills old FICM tune. Since then Chris at TSD has rewritten my Super panties tune to push a little more fuel and air plus Bill reflashed my truck to the Atlas 80. I want to get it back on the rollers.

I didn't think Eric ran those, which is why I was confused. I guess I misread the first post and thought he was running the FICM tunes as well as the ECM tunes. My mistake! We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. Carry on! :D

I personally ran our custom ficm tuning before starting to work here and it really brought my truck together especially since Mike tuned it for my specific mods... But to each is own on the tuning go with who you feel most comfortable with

The PHP tunes are $150, IDP is at $200 and KEM will run you $300. The PHP tunes are awesome, I can tell you from experience.
