Re: whats the first mod to do to a 89 rs ragtop
A full length exhaust should be the first mod. The one youll want to get will be a 3" exhaust + good headers/y-pipe for a TPI car. The current exhaust is awful, and wont support much more than 200HP.
Id also recommend weld-in SFCs if the car is a convertable.

SubFrame Connectors. Available from many sources. It's the first mod for convertibles. Have them welded with the weight of the car resting on all 4 tires. Most people get them installed at muffler shops.
