Default OBD1 vs. OBD2

I have both a OBD1 GSR and a OBD2 GSR. Both run great but im just debating which one to sell and which one to keep. OBD1 seems to pull harder for some reason, is this just my imagination? (both motors have same bolt ons and same trannys in the same car)

no its not your imagination, keep the obd1 because they are less tempermental to modification because the emission controls are no as strict as that of an obd2 controlled car.

id go with the obd2 personally for diagnostic reasons..if you throw a code its just so much simpler to run up to advanced auto parts and run their OBD2 scanner to see whats the problem..OBD1 is not compatable with the scanner..

Or you can jumper the blue plug to read the code in an obd1 right at your own house. Keep the obd1, anyone here will tell you how much easier it is to mod it over an obd2.

thats the only plus. but getting a code is not hard, all you need is a paper clip and plug it in see what codes it blowing

obd1, is easier too pass emission, you can run hondata, chrome, whatever and still pass, unlike obd2
