FICM Programming Questions

[cartmanea]

I'm about ready to get my FICM programmed, but have a few last questions. First, with FICM programming, will I see much if any difference in mileage if I have my current '03 flash VXAP1 (06e17 EBP recall) or the latest Ford flash? I kinda would like to get it updated for the VGT and EGR cycling improvements and for any shifting improvements (if any). So with FICM tuning on both the earlier flash and the latest, would there be any differences?

My next question... I have an extra PCM and FICM, so if I get the latest flash I would use the spares so I keep my original programming on my old set. Now, if I got a FICM tuned, would it work properly for both the older and newest strategies, or do you make any changes in programming for each strategy? So would I be able to use your tuned FICM with both PCMs down the road?

Thanks!
