ATTN: VAFC owners... no, I'm not asking for settings....
#1. How do you like it?
#2. Whats the general theory behind tuning it? Any special key I should look for?

Well my V-AFC is still in its packaging unused
but...what you should do when dyno tuning it is figure out the optimal cross-over for your cams...since you have aftermarket custom cams this is especially critical....you want to figure out the exact point at which your VTEC lobe starts making more power than your non-VTEC lobe....so set VTEC to kickin at say 3500, do a dyno run.....then set it to kick in at like 6500 or something, do another run...you should set VTEC to then engage where the two graphs intersect...meaning at the most powerful point on your non-VTEC lobe
There is more to it like tuning the fuel% and throttal positioning, but I don't know much about that so I'll leave it to someone else.

man, to hell with VTEC points. lol, I mean FUEL settings!
I only have two or three dyno runs to get my winning dyno run.

YES I WILL! I'll leave it at 5k, then drop it to 4.5... i have two days to do it with.
I hope I can get this thing set up close...

Errr don't you just use it to get your a/f ratio as close to 13 as possible across the board?
Using the VAFC to adjust VTEC engagment point leaves you with less than optimal fuel and ignition timing and is not recommended by those who know.
