Jim, guys,

We all know that pubished power claims are exactly that, claims.

I know for a fact that the fuel system in a '92 is different in respect to wide open throttle. The '92 will dyno about 15hp higher under WOT in the same conditions as a '93.

In '92, the LH fue system uses a pre-made map for fuel and ignition based on CLT, MAF, MAT, and TPS.

The '93 does this plus kicks in the O2 for better economy and lower emissions.
As seen below in the EPA ratings.
tkd_M119 I thought that the 92 had around 258hp while the 93 has 275. Plus the 92 EPA ratings are 16-21 MPG and the 93 are 17-25 MPG. Or am I mistaken?


The reason the ratings were higher in HP was to help sell the car.
