96 and newer are obd2, people change to obd 1 because it's more mod-friendly. It's just an extra pain in the a$$ sensor that kinda tells the computer that somethings done to your car and the computer adjusts it back to where there's little or no power gain.

Actually, OBDII trys to keep the car running like it came from the factory. When you mod the engine, the ecu see it as a problem and trys to correct it.
But the ned result is the same, not as mod friendly.
