FICM questions

[majek5]

I read an article on PSO about HP and Torque gains with a FICM reprogram. I have VXCF4H2 currently. Would I benefit from a reprogram? Not exactly sure on how the ECM/TCM/FICM all relate as to performance. In the section on the webpage it says turnaround time is usually 24 hours if I send it in vs. waiting for a programmer. Is that still current? Any drawbacks to this?

it looks like your ficm has a decent strategy, IDK how it compares to what it would be reprogrammed to, but it isn't one of the bad ones. you can always get a programmer and get quite a bit of power out of your truck, but it is up to you. I wish I knew more about the 6.0's to help you.
the turnaround time is accurate as far as I know, the only drawback is not being able to use your truck while the ficm is gone.

Does the PHP tuning compare to the KEM FICM tuning power wise? If they are comparable, PHP is 1/2 price!

Honestly I couldn't tell you since I have never heard of KEM tuning... but I know that Bill is considered one of the best in the business, if not the best. look up their "about us" page to see more on who he has tuned for. IMO he is the best because of his care for his customers when they are in trouble, and his desire for safety and longevity of the engines. He can tune an engine to make a ton of power, but he wants safe power, not just a lot of it. I hope that helps :D
