87-93 have the same hp. they were just rated differently. like dcmann said in 93 they measured hp with all the accesories on the motor and running.

he's right they rated them differently for the lower hp bc of some standard so they measured the hp with all accesories unlike the 87-92 with no accesories

Interesting thought.....

Ok so maybe my car does have the same hp, but I still have cheaper pistons....

THAT will change soon

i have always heard that the 94-95 had 215hp at the flywheel and the 89-93 had 225. the reason the 94-95's had less horsepower due to smaller intake runners

Why would they come out with a new model with LESS hp?

Unless you plan on adding some sort of power adder or the motor needs a complete rebuild those pistons are fine up to about 350-400hp N/A.

****tier computer on the 94-95 might be the culprit or maybe it just makes tuning harder, i forget.

they changed the way they dynoed the cars some time in the years (i forgot) that will also have an effect on your hp gain/loss

longer, thinner intake runners. they thought it would help with torque. they f_cked up
