I've always thought high 15'*, maybe mid 15'*.

I ran a 15.5 with a 2.4 60' in a $600 stock '92 SSEi. I did have some weight reductions and good track prep tho. If I could of gotten a better 60', I would of hit low 15'* - factory freek maybe? But I'd say unless you can get a really good 60' your going to be high 15'*.

there are more advancements in the 94 engine, but without weight reductions and a track prep. the 94 should be faster in STOCK form

llBlazin_llLo:
Your 1992 SSEi has 205 HP and 260 lb ft of torque stock (which I'm sure you knew) and the 1994/1995 SSEi was upped to 225 hp and 275 lb ft due to a different TB and teflon coated M62 rotors, and a couple other small updates (and downgrades like a .35" larger SC pulley).

Yeah, I'd say that a 1994 SSEi in stock form (the same form that was used when the magazine'* tested them new) would probably be around 15.6-15.75, maybe even as low as 15.5 with a good solid 2.2 60', and temps around 70*F. Mph should be 87-89 mph.

There are absolutely no differences between the 93 and the 94/95 SSEi Engines or Transmissions. Only the TB and different (more efficient) blower revision, that requires fewer rpm'* to develop the same boost level....hence the larger pulley.

I never said or meant to implied that a stock '92-'93 is going to be faster then a '94-'95. The only reason that I ran the time I did was because of weight reductions and great track prep. The engine was stock but in no way am I trying to say that the car was in stock (showroom) form.

Where was I off in saying what I did:

It sounds like we are saying the same thing?! A 15.6-15.75 is on the verge of being a high 15 and with a good 60' (2.2), mid 15'* are possible. .1 in your 60' is going to relate to .2 in th 1/4 mile. So lets say you ran a 15.8 with a 2.4 60'. If you got that down to a 2.2' (-.2 in the 60') that would of been .4 in the 1/4 mile. (15.8 - .4 = 15.4) - it is quite possible to run a mid 15. (If I did my math correctly )
