Your '90 doesn't have the throttle body restrictor that appears on CA EGR-equipped cars. This little restrictor doesn't really rob power, but it does rob throttle response. This might be the difference you're noticing in the two cars. Another thing is, EGR system rarely work right after 100K miles, so that could be robbing you of some power too, not to mention the fact that it may cause your engine to ping more.
