I am not running FICM tuning but am planning on it in the near future.
I have done much research and have seen many guys running the combo together without issues.

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't even matter and the tunes don't even need to be re-written on the SCT for the ficm tuning. But even if they do, you did the right choice anyways by getting the Atlas 40 first. Now, just tell the tuner that you have a FICM tune and they will modify anyhting if needed.

I AM sure that you will have no issues making it work together though as MANY guys are running this exact setup and love it. Better throttle response from ficm tuning and good HP on the top end from the SCT:nod:

Get that SCT:rockwoot:

 

^^^^^:agree:

 

I have a buddy who runs the Atlas 80 with Matt's SRL tunes and loves it. He didn't have to have anything rewritten. Also has the BPD 58v FICM.

 

Im completely stock ecxept a Swamps 58V FICM. I went with the FICM tuner from PHP and flashed my Ficm with the Atlas 40 tune. As described in other threads the truck started better, idled smoother, and had improved throttle response. Just last week i received my SCT X3 from vivian with tunes. Im currently running the looney tune and love it. The turbo lag was the most notable improvement that I noticed right off the back. The truck feels like it has more power. I cant yet give any real feedback on the effects on MPG as I cant keep my foot off the accelerator. Give me about three weeks for the wow factor to wear off and i'll update you on MPG. I can tell you this for sure.........my tires hate this set up! LOL

 

People wonder why my Toyo M/T tires are getting so low....im like :dunno:


:roll1:

 

I've got the Gryphon FICM programmer, I've tried the Atlas 40, Atlas 80, and Hercules combined with Matt's, Eric's and Vivian's without issues.

I got the PHP ficm tuner before i got my livewire ts from innovate. truck ran a lot better with teh ficm tuner, but even more so now with the livewire fron innovate. Im running the atlas 80 with extreme street and i hav no issues other then boiling the four 315/70's out back..

 

Thanks folks.

Looks like the FICM tunes play well with others.

I'll find out. Decided to go with some tunes from Matt.

 

So what kind of gains did people with SCT feel when they added the Atlas 40 ficm tune? My SPD tune has a lot of low end torque does the ficm tune add a large amount of throttle response and low end power to justify the $400 for the ficm tuner?

Thanks

 

I noticed a 1 mpg increase!

I drove 6 hours on just a SCT tune... Then tuned the ficm and drove 6 to get home... Same road 3 days apart..

I have both tuned. You will have no problems. Don't forget to pull the ficm relay and return Ecm to stock when programming the ficm.

 

Why do you say to also return the ECM to stock?? I have been only pulling the FICM Relay when I do mine and never had an issue.....yet

Also I am currently running the Atlas 80 with Matts SRL and love it. Egt's are good too. I have been averaging 18 mpg if I keep my foot out of it with a combo of city/Hwy driving.

When I tow I switch to Erics (IDP) along with the Atlas 40.

 

I've had my atlas 40 for about a year now roughly 20k miles 15 of the k was running some kind of sct tuner either Idp race or street then I switched to atlas 40 with 80hp dd from bill not one problem at all.

 

I have atlas 80 paired up with a tune from Tony Wildman with zero issues

 

Which tune are you running from Tony? Do you tow? How heavy?

 

A few folks have had it turn out even better if your flash the ECM to stock, program the FICM, then tune the ECM again...there's no safety reason that I know, but it just seems to work even better to do it in that order.

 

can you elaborate on what you mean by better as it pertains to your situation, lower egt's, quicker, more power???

I am going to give it a try and see if I notice a difference

 

I've been running ficm tuning with various ECM tunes for quite some time with no issues.

For anyone who has had the Atlas 40 tune.

Are any of you running a SCT tune with it?

I'm hoping tunes from folks like Vivian or Eric or Matt have not had any issues or tune rewrites because of the Atlas 40. (or any other FICM tune)

Or, does it matter?

I have the Atlas 40, and am leaning toward tuning from an SCT Xcal 3.

Did a mess up going FICM first, then to SCT stacking on top of it.

Go ahead, stack your stacks, then double stack them.



Just sayin.... :laugh:

 

Just got my Evolution back from PHP from being turned into a Gryphon. Paired the Atlas 40 with Wildman 's Extreme tune. I love it. Truck starts faster and lost a lot of lag on acceleration.

 

I have the atlas 40 and have been running Looney Fuel and have seen 1400+ egts but i back off real quick once its gets there. Running just the atlas 40 and stock tuning I am seeing 1050-1100 on the edge. I have stock exhaust but no cat and an intake.
