The different wastegate actuators build boost faster on the 89 and newer. There is probably differnent programing in the ECU to accomidate it.

pre 89 230 hp 246 lb/tq @ 4000
89 + 232 hp 256 lb/tq @ 3200

is just the ecu the makes the newer engine make more hp and tq
that's what i want to know, because i have a 89+ engine wired into my 87 ecu does that mean am making less power
or the power is in the engine.?
i did notice that this motor build boost much faster tham my old engine or maybe it was just old .

Another one of these..

The difference is probably a result of changed maps in the ECU

The majority agree that the 7m crank is smoother; However, it is not the reason for the difference in the HP/TQ figures.
