It's early to give a full assessment.
However, I messed around with it quite a bit today on freeway onramps and such. The concept is excellent and the settings are a breeze.
I guess I'd say it's like learning to drive a stick or becoming very proficient at double clutching: it's different.
Launch is kind of a no-brainer and its nice to have a constant (rpms) to work the clutch off of.
Much more difficult is keeping your foot from touching the clutch pedal AT ALL between shifts or it thinks you're shifting and cuts off. Car falls on its face and you're out of the race!
Done right and it's like power shifting without the over rev.
I've had it on the Cobra for a few years now and it's a great piece. Easy to install, very reasonably priced and just takes a few practice runs to get used to the NLS (no-lift-shift) feature. As you get better, you can cut the delay down in millisecond increments. The best part is the GUI, which makes adjusting the settings foolproof.
I had the pleasure of working with the guy who designed the wot box, Jay, when he first started n2mb, and anything he puts his name on will work as advertised. He is a super smart guy.
I have one that will go in the notch ready to go...
I really don't mind power shifting, the thing I would like it for is the launch. I want to have the consistency of a steady rpm. This way I can learn what rpm seems to work best off the line.
You can disable the shifting cutoff and just use launch.
I'd find someone who has one before doing the whole install to figure out what rpm top launch at. It's different.

Absolutley. Set the rpms in increments of 200. Simple as that.
Push in the clutch and then floor the gas. It will keep your rpms as set through spark interuption.
