Sorry,I have no dyno numbers.
The dyno's we've here are made for the cars we've here...
In other words they're to small to fit my truck on 'em.
Second, my truck is an AT that would make it difficult to dyno over there, let's only say here...
Anyway I doubt that the M. A. D. ECM will show anything special on the dyno. Probably the top numbers shown on a dyno would be in the range of what an EZ does. The CaTCHER is all about driveability and FUN to drive.
I know that sounds confusing... .
What I can tell you about the CaTCHER is more or less what Bob has already said. The torque comes in much sooner, the turbo spools up much sooner...
Over what Bob already has reported I would add only one thing.
The CaTCHER compared to a stock ECM...
The stock is a dog, while the CaTCHER makes the truck feel like a race car. Big and heavy, but race car...
Now let me talk about what " I " feel is a major problem.
Smoke.
While the CaTCHER can produce a major smoke show, it IS possible to control the smoke. One has to get used to the software but once you're used to it I can assure you that tire smoking take off's ARE possible without ANY (black) smoke!
Just to clear up things a little more.
IF you're intrested in a ECM and want to get a spare. It's NOT important that you get the same year ECM for your truck. Any ECM can be used in any truck. I've tested it! What changes is the software inside. I can flash any software ( year/version ) into any ECM. Clear as mud?
To come to an end, let me open a new can of worms... .
Let's talk about mileage!
I've got a serious problem with mileage claims.
A claim like " X Mpg better" does NOT work with Dodge.
Let me explain.
DC has so many different software versions for our trucks that it's impossible to compare apples to apples.
For example, the 98. 5 automatic federal trucks, have had 20 different softwares flashed during the production. All those have then been substituted by only ONE software. Same goes for the Californian trucks, sticks, SO's, Ho's and later years... . In all, that gives how many different softwares? Dunno, I've never counted them all, they are many...
Each of those softwares might or might not get good mileage.
So telling you that MY truck get's average 3. 5 MPG more with the CaTCHER doesn't mean anything. Depending on what software was installed in YOUR truck @ the factory YOUR findings might be a lot different!
Obviously it's the same for ALL mileage claims. Be it for a stock truck, or for a vendor claim, we're simply not sure that we can compare apples to apples. With what software was that claim made?????
Next time you talk or hear about mileage claims, take this factor into consideration!

P. S. I believe that the software that came in MY truck was mileage wise the worst ever!
