Performance wise they are rated at 225 HP and 275 Ft Lbs... But we have found that most of the SC 3800'* are under rated by a bit... There are a few things that you can do to it... But the largest concern will be the transmission..
For example, there have been several Series II 3800'* have pulled 260 Hp at the crank and 320-330 Ft Lbs at the crank and are rated for 240 HP and 280Ft lbs at the crank..
I believe an 94-95 SSEi in good shape, should pull a low 15second 1/4... There are a few that could tell you more...
One of the Admins here has a 95 SLE( supercharged ) which is a bit lighter than an SSEi and Pulled a 15.1 on crappy plugs and wires with sad tires.... lol

Oops.. My mistake. I typed too quick. I meant Gen3. I am just absolutely astonished that these cars can pull a low 15. In the quarter. I think I am going to like this car... that'* if I get it. I'm praying I do.
So should my first mod be a pulley? I did some mods to my Ciera and only get a 15.99 in the quarter, and that'* with 2.5 manifold back exhaust, CAI, and ported exhaust manifolds.

Well look at it this way...The 3800 Series II NA( L36 ) guys have pulled 15.6-15.8 pretty much all bone stock... Or is that the L27? Some of the L27 guys might be able to answer That one
There are a few vids of the L27'*, L36'* and series I and 2 L67'*...
You had a 3100 in the ceira?
If you did they werent the best for good strong low end torque, but good for a bit of power in the midrange... Very smooth and quiet motor... Usually they were attached to the GX3 or 3.33 ratio trans, Made for a quick winding 3100... I think a lower ratio wouild have been a bit better for the motor... But I have driven a few of the Cutlass Supremes with the 3100 and 3.33 4T60-E, they are some nice cars

Yup, The Ciera does me well, but its getting old. I get a lifter tick when I start it up and it lasts for about 10 minutes. It has 101k. I broke a engine mount a few weeks ago and had to replace it. That sucked really bad. It'* getting rust along the bottom of the doors, so I think I'm due for a new car, hopefully the bonnie.
