Brazel's Ultrapower. Was I supposed to notice anything?

Purchased the Ultrapower programming for our F53 Ford V10 (2000 model chassis)
Trying it out for the first time. Drove over 900 miles. Been on this same route many times. Wasn't I supposed to notice something? Anything? Maybe it didn't 'take'?
It's Saturday so I can't really talk to anyone yet at Brazel's but, I will be calling Monday.
The engine sounds the same, shifts the same, and yes it (on edit: Downshifts) goes into overdrive at the slightest incline just as before. Can't determine any change whatsoever. Help because my WIFE is asking me what I paid for? :h

Maybe that's part of the problem? It's shifting into OD on an incline. It should be downshifting.

Sorry, you are correct. It is downshifting on slight inclines just as it always has.
Point being.... No change that we can see so far.

Was there any smoke? Mirrors?
