Here's a Motorweek road test of an '89 G92, dual cat, LB9, 5 speed with a 3.45 gear.
This is the fastest one I've ever remember seeing from the day and may not be representative of the typical production car - but they got a 13.9 second 1/4 mile.

There were a number of free/cheap mods on the TPI back in the day, (similar to the 5.0 Mustang), which could REALLY wake it up.
