Looking at buying one shortly. Wondering difference between gen 1 and gen 2. Looking to build the engine and make decent N/A hp. Wondering if gen1 is a decent application for that or if gen 2 is the better platform.
Thanks!

When I had my Gen1, I Did headers, T&D rocker arms, 708 cam, Greg Good heads, Gen2 injectors, larger throttlebodies = 500rwhp. One disadvantage of the Gen1 is it has the OBD1 ECM which makes it more difficult to tune than the Gen2 with the OBD2.
