Best year for HP were the 91-92 model GTA's. 92's put out about 240 Horse at 340 ft lbs of torque. For further info, be sure to look into

I also should have added, 92 GTA's are very hard to come by - if I remember correctly, they only made 508 of them.

90-92 L98s were all rated at 245 HP and 345 Ft/Lbs. Z28s, T/As, and GTAs got them.

BTW, it may be a bit hard to find a mint 91/92 GTA for $1,600. Good luck though! Here's a layout of all the engine specs if you decide to go with another year.

So, anywhere from an 87 to 90. The specs for those GTA models as well can be found at the above link.
