Well it can be a bit intimidating as there is a bit to do to just set yourself up to read/write a tune. It also gives several warnings to not unplug it if it has the red light on #7, it locked up on me on my first attempt and thought I was gonna kill my puter if I unplugged it 
Anyway, once you get past the first bit its really not that hard to use and has alot more controll then the standard SCT or Diablo from the end users standpoint. Lots of stuff to screw up But at least I was able to tell it I had a 255LPH fuel pump (still not sure why the last owner did that 
) and it idles better when warm now 
I has a strange idle hunt when ice cold but I have only tried it once and it may be a learning curve for it to figure out 
The SOTP fell is quite notecable. It has to be a 15+ hp gain because the car pulls way better after 2 grand now and runs so quick to 6200 its kinda scarry, fear its gonna bounce off the rev limiter It also will leave a 10' mark going into second at WOT and thats with the shift pattern set to mild. I tried firm and it was a little too jerky around town and at WOT I was afraid it was gonna break something. It has a race setting to that must be down right brutal on a stock trans
Downside: I got it to do an 87 tune and increase the mileage on the Mark VIII but the 93 performance tune is too fun
Other downside is the "Anti-Theft" light flashes all the time. Pat at Sniper is working on it as apparently 1% of the Lincolns have the trigger in a different spot. So I sent him the tune and hopefully he will have it solved soon. Leave it to me to find the one percent car
I will do the custom tune and data log the Cobra when I get it back and send the log and tune off and they will write me a custom tune for it and help me get the bugs worked out. So far the customer service has been pretty good.
I will update this thread as I get the Mark VIII tune fixed and tune the Cobra to let you guys know if it performs better then my old school Doablo chip the car has now
BTW, here is what it looks like:
