Is there any advantage of one motor and computer vs the other. The 94 is of course an OB-1 and the 96 a OB-2. The reason I ask is, I have a good running 94 camaro LT1 (70,000) with basic CMC upgrades. It only needs about 700.00 worht of rollcage material to make it track legal. I am a welder so the install is free. The other car is 96 Firebird t-2 car with with a blown motor. It has a nice full cage ,but stock suspension.
If you had to keep one motor/computer to maintain, is one better than the other?
I am mainly afraid of the electrical/sensor side of things. But if there is any weak points of the motors, that would be helpful info also.
Does any one know of a good/fair electrical place near Orange County, California that can simplify the wireing on one of these car? (Removing the VAT and need lessless stuff) to a more race like setup.
I know I have asked a lot of questions, any help would be appricated.
Thanks,
Ed

No, the other disadvantage (depending on what you plan to do with the car) is that the '94 goes down into a single converter and the '96 has two (the reason for the different number of oxygen sensors). That's also the reason for the different HP rating from the factory. But, since you're planning on making it a track only car, that's probably irrelevent information.
