tuned chip in ECU is best.

chipped ECU is a crap shoot, depending on who you get it from.
VAFC is a waste of money.

tuned chip to your application will be the best route. and like the other poster said the vafc is complete garbage depending on your app

well i think its that the vafc is very limited to what it can do compared to todays chipped ecus or stand alone fuel management system.... it almost is primitive anymore other than to slightly control your fuel air ratios and vtec. now days you can control every aspect of the engine it just sucks that the vafc cant do that, however if it could it would be VERY expendsive
