6.0 9r06 or 9r07

I currently have the 9r05 on my predator and was one of those guys with the surging I have just been running stock and looking into ficm programming as this seemed like a probable solution but I looked back on here and see you guys had a couple of updates for this,, my question is with the vxap2n2 should I go to 9r07 or 9r06 I would be so excited if one of these worked and I did not have to do the ficm tuning. May still look into the ficm tuning how do you think this would react to your tuning, just looking to go back to the configuration that these trucks came with originally before ford started robbing us of mileage and more importantly power. Logically it seems to me that your tuning would still work, I would just have more power by getting my fuel back, my concern is that I would just be opening a whole nother can of worms as you guys have been working your butts off to make power with the current ficm configuration and the tunes would not work properly? What are your guy's thoughts on ficm tuning and are you guys going to be offering this at some point? First things first though so 9r06 or 9r07?

So, I loaded the new update and drove it with the 100hp setting and had surging issues above about 1700 at full throttle, backed down to the 60hp setting and had surging issues at around the 2000 and up at full throttle. Not a hint of black smoke, I had already tried a couple of custom tunes you sent me with not much luck either, with the tunes the throttle is much peppier and I can tell it really wants to go but then it falls on its face? I know you guys have done a lot to help me out but I am starting to think there is not much you can do, I have read a lot about ficm tuning but obviously not a tuner myself so looking for opinions here so I do not get the "buy an sct" I get on other sites. I really think your guy's customer service is top notch and the tuning issues are beyond the pcm control, do you guys think that the ficm is where the problem truly lies or does it sound like mechanical failure due to injectors or fuel pressure? It looks like the ficm tuning other than the inconvenience factor is relatively inexpensive so I would definately go that route, just do not have tons of money to throw at the truck and don't want to get the ficm tuned and find out that its not the problem. Just looking for advice from either diablo or other 6.0 guys that are not biased on the tuning. I know the power is there and really want to get back the can of whoopass. Thanks for your thoughts in advance.....

Who told you to buy SCT? They think they can do it better than me? I'd like to see them try.

I have much faith in you and want to fly the Diablo Sticker proud on my rear window where everyone can see it when I smoke them, got the info from another forum when I had asked about the ficm. I was also frustrated in the response, seems they like to say that about every question asked. Anyway once I figure this out I can really show them right.... I would eventually like to step up to the trinity but I need to figure out my situation before I spend more money, I am a married man and have to justify everything when it comes to my truck, the wifey just don't understand........ I haven't been slapped for blowing someones doors off in a while now....... By the way I think it was on powerstroke.org, haven't been back since.

In reference to the last sentence of your post,I can definately see that happening.If you dont have the chip or programmer that they feel you should be running ,you kinda get the cold shoulder and hardly any responses to any and all questions.Sorry,didnt mean to jump in on your post.
