I bought the Gryphon FICM programmer a couple weeks ago, freaking awsome!!

Any who........ I would like to know if I were to return my FICM back to stock program, can I use the Gyphon to program a different truck?

If yes, is it like the SCT and use up any sorts of "unlocks"?

In other words, can the Gryphon FICM programmer be used as many times as I want on many different trucks, as long as I return the programming back to stock FICM tune.

We have a guy that just installed Industrial Inject compounds with 190's, I wanted to give him a taste of what a FICM tune can do for his set-up.

Thanks, Rich

No, you have to purchase another unlock, to do an additional truck. However you can do this all over the phone.

I'm not talking about the remote Gryphon FICM programmer, the one I have is the one you buy and keep to use as many times as you want.

I had asked Bill a similar question, and was trying to confirm what he said, he never mentioned anything about buying another unlock on this particular Gryphon tuner. Read post #66 and Bill's Reply on post #67.

I'm talking about the same ficm programmer you are. I have one, you have to buy an additional unlock if you want to do another truck. You can change your FICM program around to your hearts desire. But the programmer will use another unlock if you program a ficm on a truck that did'nt already have a PHP FICM tune on it. The FICM programer can tell the difference in a PHP tuned FICM and a non PHP tuned FICM.

Well that kinda sucks. Sure would of been nice for others to "try before you buy". I would think if other local 6.0 owners could try it first to see the benefits of a FICM tune.

All well, thanks! Rich

OK, I asked Bill about it, yes you CAN program someone else, but you have to return yours to STOCK, just like you said. I'm sorry about the confusion. I never noticed the "stock" setting before, LOL the thought of going back to stock never crossed my mind.

Both and friend and I filled out the form and ordered our FICM Gryphon programmers on Friday of last week.

Still no repsonse from PHP as far as order status, aknowledgement or anything. Phones say they are closed and won't allow leaving a message.

The website shows they were closed March 26-30, then throw in Easter Holiday for last week, then people also take off for the weekend to spend with their families. IIRC, they process the orders in the order they were received.

When I placed my order thru the website, it took a week to get a confirmation email with tracking number, after that the programmer was at my door in 3 days.

I hope this make you feel better.

Any noticeable gains when running a high hp tune and a ficm tune? What ficm tune works best with high hp tunes?

I believe Bill stated that the FICM tune will help the High HP ECM tunes but wont be as noticable unless you have injectors. There is only so much you can get out of the stock sticks. The FICM tunes are suposed help bring on the power on the bottom end.

He has posts on it on both PSN ans PSA, and other sites aswell. You probably already read those though.
