I would imagine so. I know that my Dakota is CA emission prepared and the
only way that I'm aware of that this can be done is that the computer
retards the timing or/and has a different fuel map.

Maybe. I know that I was surprised that my Dakota ran 16.7-16.8 with K&N
dropin
and Gibson cat-bak on all season tires in April. When I put in the '96 MP
PCM,
the first run was a 16.1x and subsequently ran 15.9xs without further mods but
possibly better launching techniques. Shifts, at that time, were done
automatically.
Of course, truck, driver and 3/4 tank weighs in at about 4,375 lb may also
been the reason.
