Before you risk catastrophic engine failure, I would encourage you to ask them for before and after Dyno maps for an F-type Tune they have performed, then post them here for the experts to evaluate.
+1. Not just the power/torque charts, but also the tables showing boost and A/F ratio (or Lamda). Ignition advance would be nice too, but not necessary.
I looked at the Velocity Website and, as I understand their graphs for their reflash kit, you give up a LOT of lower RPM power (hence torque) to get their advertised max HP gain. Sounds like a bad deal to me, unless the car is a track car (maybe even a bad deal t hen).
GSR technik did my 2015 f type r tune -- had it bench tuned at their shop-- never had it dyno tuned before and after ( have no interest ) but I could feel the power difference the minute I drove the car !! These guys have a lot of tuning experience and have been at it for along time and are standup guys !! ------- a lot of these tuners just buy the tunes and market and sell them under another name ----- remember the old V max tune that everyone was so upset about because he dissapeared and would not return calls because of some personal problems ??? ----- well this was the same tune that he was buying from GSR and re-selling ----nothing was wrong with the tune -- just v max --- at least with GSR you are buying direct ------ I've had the tune for about 18 months and I'm 100 % happy with it !! ----- and again IMHO Bobby and his crew are stand up guys !

But did they tell you you'd get 100hp from just the tune? I think that's the real point of contention here. Don't get me wrong, the OP could have been exaggerating or made up his own number... but if GSR told him that, there's a issue here. You'll feel 50 and you'll feel 100... but those are two very different claims performance wise.
Side note, didn't someone have an issue with the vmax tune? Didn't it screw up someone's car? Or am I just imagining this?
Don't think there was ever a complaint or issue with the v max tune ? I think the problem was that the guy from v max made a lot of empty promises and Never came through ----
Don't get me wrong, that was certainly an issue. But i swear someone's tune went bad and they had major issues with drivablity. Or they couldn't flash back to stock ever, or something like that. Might not have been the tune's fault at that point, but there were always questions on how safe the tune was, and this one sounds similar. When everyone in the industry is making 50 hp and one guy claims he can make 100, he's either a liar or your engine is at extreme risk.
Don't know about the 100 hp ?? --- just know I'm happy with my tune and I personally know of 5 or 6 other tunes they did including an XFR that belongs to a good friend --- all happy and no problem ???!
Sorry been really busy but time to make that review. So, I'll be honest with you guys I'm not that technical but ever since I had this car I've been trying to read more stuff about performance and aesthetics for it..
But seriously, this is the BEST thing that I've done with the car. Bobby's tune was so AMAZING. Like FREAKING AMAZING.
You guys remember when you were all car shopping for this car? Should I get the 911? Should I get the Vantage? Or should I get this car? The moment that I laid my eyes on this car I fell in love. I've never spent this much money on a car before, I mean for mods. I thought this car was already good as it is..but turns out that you can do so much more to make it better.
That was the feeling that I had when I drove the car after Bobby tuned it. Don't get me wrong the car was already perfect before, but when it was tuned it took the car to another level.
Another level of adrenaline, another level of satisfaction..the rush that you get whenever you close that big account or when you meet a 10+ bombshell chick.
The pull of the car was crazy great and the torque..that sound..oh lord. Gives me eargasm all the time.
So if you guys are wondering if you should tune that car or not..I say get it. Life is short. Enjoy the car. Enjoy your hard earned money. F the naysayers..this is a $100K plus car. ENJOY IT and GET A TUNE.
The next question: was it on an inertial dyno or a load bearing dyno? If you have before/after readings, that's a moot point, but if a Mustang inertial dyno reads 650hp, that doesn't mean there's a 100hp over stock. I just question a hundred horse gain without increasing boost.
I've only tuned one car in my life, it was a 2008 VW GTi. Even though it only had a 2-liter 4-cyl turbo, I was amazed at how much horsepower and most importantly how much (low-end) torque it had gained. I can only imagine what it feels like in an F Type R...congrads on pulling the trigger!
