Leave it stock, IMO. It is the rarest Rex, and therefore I would keep it stock. But it is your car..so whatever....

could be cloged cats, cloged 5th and 6th ports, check the tps, check injectors, clutch, struts, and other engine stuff. then get a full exhaust and intake and watch those times drop.

is it a 89 or 90? very rare. I think 500 in 90. maybe 1500 or so in 89. as long as it is a "GTUs" and not a "GTU"

Fix all its problems!! Then think about upgrading. However, its never a bad time to invest in exhaust, you can always sell it later if things don't work out.
