^^ I concur on the 1988.

I can't see that dual plug head and intake on the '92 making that much more power than the '88.
28 factored h.p. is a bunch when referring to naturally aspirated 4 cylinders.

The 2.3 without a hair dryer attached will need some high rpm to injest more air.

I have 3 of the "rare" 1000ft power cords that were delivered in the trunk of some models.
Very useful ( and legal) if the combo should run too far under the index.

(and now, back to the nostalgia topics where I belong)

Here is my 88 2.3 stick car I have been working on for a while. Time and money are my restrictions right now. Fastest it's been has been 16.39. Any great insight into this project would be greatly appreciated. Hoping to make to Class Nationals in May.

I have two "enhanced" models that can't be beat in class. For the right price I would sell them.
