Yes they are good. Good enough for me to go back many times.
Another member has with a F150 has reported better 0-60 and 1/4 miles with a VMP Tune over Troyer's tune as well as great drivability. I'm having a little bit of a brain fart but his truck is a red scab FX4, I think.

Gotts2BMe, I distinctly remember someone not long ago whos comp crapped out after trying that. It was a dealer reflash, but a different code just the same.

I have a good friend who writes custom tunes locally and he wouldn't hesitate for a second to do it. so I guess openclass is right..... some people shouldn't give advice
The 04-06 PCMs are the same. 07-08 PCMs are completely different.

I've had NUMEROUS tunes from Justin and they've ALL been MUCH better than anything else I've tried.
