GetOverkilled.com'* PCM offering:
"Our PCMs have much more intricate fueling revisions, based on time at full
throttle, throttle positions, variable fueling between different cylinders
etc. Spark tables have been altered to provide better throttle response and
increase full throttle timing to performance oriented but still safe levels,
and timing is reduced in certain areas to prevent KR such as low rpm high
load situations. KR activation is enhanced to provide more engine protection
and recovery rates are faster to provide more power when detonation isn't
occuring. Timing advance is retarded when the intake air temperatures begin
to increase, to prevent KR and provide good incentive to draw in cooler
airflow! Boost control is used to provide better gas mileage and prevent
dangerous boost spikes, while we also prevent boost being cut on high speed
runs as a form of speed limiting. Fan controls are proprietary, annoying
DTCs are disabled, we even turn off the A/C when you start getting into
boost to provide more power and less wear on the compressor. And every PCM
is custom calibrated, so you can make any requests to address trouble areas
on your vehicle, have any level of modifications, and we will provide a
customized PCM for your vehicle included in the pricetag, no additional
costs.

To the OP...I may have the answer to why your fans won't come on at keyoff; but I have to test it with the PowrTuner over the weekend.

price, plus $20 for shipping costs. You can either send in your Intense PCM
along with a $99 money order or paypal payment, or we can send you one first
for $239 with $140 of that being fully refundable upon return of your
Intense unit. I will offer you a 30 day guarantee that if you don't like our
PCM or it doesn't work to expectations, I will refund your money."

I agree that not having the fans come on at shut down is not enough to justify swapping out PCMs. I think the experience was just down right awful. Although, to their credit, I am grateful that INTENSE diagnosed the issue pre-CASE learn procedure and saved me $118.
I think I would've been happy or somewhat satisfied with my experience if I were offered even a mild discount on something I really wanted....like a scan gauge (hint, hint). But hey, hindsight is always 20/20.
