Very mixed feedback on these.
Some people have thrown one on and its worked out OK.
Some people have had a load of problems with it and because they are completely non-adjustable then their only resort was to return it. Some people have had four units before they got one that was set up right.
You have no idea what the unit is actually doing as there is no way to inspect the tune it is applying.
Don't believe the hype about self-tuning. These units have no way to measure changes in power (you need a dyno for that) so they can't self-adjust for most hardware changes you make. This is especially true for cams, which require timing changes that this unit can't know about and adjust.

It's pushin' two years since the OP asked the question. Wonder if he got the Cobra PowerPro FI1200, and how it worked out?

I've read their blurb on this and it still doesn't make sense to me. I can't tell if they are hiding the details to protect their intellectual property or if its BS.

They way I understand it, the unit experiments with fuel-air ratio, and selects what gives the biggest push on the crankshaft, as detected by small variations in crankshaft speed, picked up by the crankshaft sensor.
Don't know if it reverts to stoich during easy cruise, and have no way of knowing whether their explanation of how it works is BS or not. If it's true, it sounds like a neat idea though.
If one needed timing changes, I guess that would need to be done by flashing the ECM.
