gutting will definitly give you more HP
However sine you have an 86 do not gut your main cat. You have 3 cats on the car. 2 pre-cats and a main cat. just gut the 2 precats. if you gut the main cat your 5th&6th ports in your engine will not work. They work off backpressure. It takes a bit of typing to explain, but trust me.
Just gut the 2 pre cats and NOT your main cat.
