I can't help thinking that one mode or the other must have a couple of extra horsepower.

Absolutely true... I put a 94 ECU into my 92 a couple years ago and came up with the EGR Temp sensor code... Had to change it out to a 92 ECU The temp sensor doesn't change anything, it merely detect when the EGR is open/closed by detecting the heat. So there are no extra ponies laying up in there
