Ok guys, I have learned a ton about my car just in the last couple days here. But, as a more comprehensive approach, what all can you tell me:

I've figured out through clever deduction that it is considered and H Body by GM

What generation is mine?

What series engine?

What does the L36 or whatever all that stuff is mean?

What are 0-60, 0-100, and 1/4 mile times? either from the factory, or your specs if you have a non upgraded, non supercharged.

What are some cheap, simple upgrades, or preventive maintenance measures i could partake in?

Any other fun facts?

Thanks guys!

Generation? I'd have to count. These have been in production since 1957! Considering most of our membership here, I suppose you could loosely call it 2nd of 3 generations.

You have the Series 1 L27. Predecessor to the Series 2 L36. L is just the drivetrain disignation for these motors. Mine is an L67 (supercharged).

Your car stock (SSE is close enough, you might be SLIGHTLY faster):
More fun facts? Hell, just go out and drive!

I can answer a few of those. 1. your car is a 92 SE, therefore it has the Series I L27 Engine, L27 I believe is the engine model number, or something like that. As far as mods get a 180 degree thermostat to cool the engine, very improtant, Other good ideas, Trans cooler, Better air intake, exhaust, that sort of stuff. I'm the dumb one on here so I am sure others will be able to tell you more. --- Yup, and I see as I was tying, Will answered your questions, Oh well, I am slow.

The 92 was the first year of that body style. you have the grill with two bars, and the SE was the Base model. 92 was also the first year for the name 3800 on the engine, and it has higher output then earlier models. Your engine does not have an EGR valve most likely, which may cause burned valves. Your exhaust doesn't have a resonator either, so an aftermarket muffler will be louder then a 94+.

Definetly get the car running cooler, that will help your Valves last, Newer honeycomb grills, spoilers are sometimes desired by 92 SE owners if they don't have them. Tail light tint is a very nice thing as you can see below

In 93 they gained rocker rollers as well, which is suppsedly a direct swap. Your best bet is to work on breathability of the engine, and then a new Chip would help a lot. After that, cams/valvetrain, maybe nitrous, or a Centrifugal supercharger.

Before you ask, no you can't get a supercharger off of a SSEi and bolt it up... :(
