my '11 is350 AWD has three settings, The top is "Power", middle is "ECT", bottom is "Snow". So I think you're both kinda right.
While in power, it's definitely more responsive and has more added torque to shift points(while moving and driving), but haven't felt it be faster from a stop position.

All years/models have that switch with those settings, but nobody would use snow for performance so not really relevant.
ECT-Power doesn't add any hp or torque. Ever. It doesn't change engine behavior at all, just transmission behavior.
It also shifts at a lower RPM than normal when floored (hence why it's inferior for say a drag race).
It's useful in some part throttle and on/off throttle situations though.
Right sorry, meant perceived power (due to the shift points). Regardless, it does kick my head back more on a downshift than when ect is in norm. I assume that's due to being in lower rpms in the down shift, but either way, the switch does what it says. . Definitely helps you get goin say for a passing situation!
