1992 actually has less HP(268hp VS 275hp of 1993+), but as Michael mentioned, the full throttle enrichment actually make the engine stronger. 1992 and 1993 should have the same torque output.

1992 has compression of 10.0:1, but 1993+ has 11.0:1....WHY...I don't know... :p

As for tires, the OE tires/rims are just NOT enough for the torque/hp...upgrade is a must...
