Are those two map sensors same or which one is better?

just get the gm 3 bar. Thats what everyone else runs so you know it works. I used to run it with no problems as well.

The gm 3 bar is exclusive to the 89 20th anniversary Pontaic TA, Regal and Grand National are different. If you try to run a 2 bar off a Regal, etc., your calibrations throught your ems are going to be way off and your car will be terd.
