Back on the Road with Atlas 40

so after 3 months finally got the truck back on the road. Here is a video of the problem i has having
Ford 6.0 Issues - YouTube

i couldn't figure it out. i had a lot of guys on here helping me. finally had a friend who just recently bought a 6.0 come over and we swamped out FICM to see what would happen. my truck ran perfect. so i sent my FICM to Ed. he called me and said he has never had one act like mine. once it would get hot, it would go crazy. i had it rebuilt last year by a guy that goes by Digital Speedometer, well that is the name of his ebay store. well, he really messed it up. so i had to purchase a complete one from Ed. he loaded the Atlas 40. i had the Ford flash prior to the new flash. i have noticed improved throttle response and way less turbo lag. the only thing i am not liking is my EGTs rocket up faster tuned or not tuned.

Are your EGT's going way above "normal" or just heating up to normal range faster?
