Firstly, my tester is participating 100% free-of-charge. I don't agree with how the initial testing was conducted, but what's done is done. There are good reasons to use private owners for testing, and good reasons not to. It depends entirely on what you intend to accomplish. And if you do accept a private owner for testing, you have to eat the costs - it's just good business.
Secondly, the only remaining issues are tuning for forced inducted applications where there is a significant difference between reported MAF and what the PCM calculates should be entering the engine based on normally aspirated conditions. There are no other issues. If you're stock, don't waste your money. If you're modded, you will not realize the full potential of those modifications without tuning.
Lastly, everyone knew the risks going in. They accepted these risks. What's silly is later complaining about the risks should they ever surface.
However, you do raise a good point about Vince's availability. At present, Vince is the only person with the hardware/software to generate tunes, so this is a valid concern. Eventually, select dealers will have the ability to provide programming support, but I do not know when this will happen.
