Warranties / Recalibrations

I’ve heard that Ford has lost million on the 6.0 and Ford gets the motors from International. So does ford have a warranty from them? Maybe some of these recalibrations (de-tuning) are coming from them?

And a 6.0 in an F-650 is capable of making 21 psi boost tops... I wonder if they were on to something that Ford didn't want any part of when they chose the electronics for the SuperDuty.

Keep in mind that the VT-365 offered by International has a 235 Hp rating max. The same engine offered by Ford as the 6.0 is rated at 325 Hp. The only real performance difference between the two engines is the software as BTH indicated. The way I see it, the 6.0 offered by Ford is already "chipped" by 90 Hp when you drive it off the lot.
