My car is at a much much lower tune than others but the limited interaction I have had with VF has been satisfactory.
The original tune for my application was too rich and kept tripping limp mode.
Their tech remapped my ECU and remotely installed it for me.
It seems to be working good so far since.

I myself went with a remote tune through Frank Smith, and he's helped my car tremendously. We're still going through the final phases of datalogging and minute tweaking of the part-throttle driveability, but the car has come a long way thanks to Frank.
The original supercharger tune provided with VF Engineering's kits were atrocious 
My car ran like absolute crap. If I hadn't gotten the kit at a really good deal, I wouldn't have bothered putting up with their bullshit. Their customer service is horrid  |
