If you mean the microscopic anticipated additional economic due to the reduced spending on SDI (even down to zero), then your statement is nonsense.

If you mean really strong economic growth would have put a greater amount of pressure, than the issue is still arguable (since SDI put a lot of pressure on the USSR, and since the US economy was already much larger and growing faster, even an unusually strong increase in growth would have been small compared to the existing advantage), so your statement would also be nonsense (since its clearly quite possible, not something that wouldn't be by any stretch of the wildest imagination). Also your statement would be rather irrelevant, since such strong additional economic growth has no positive or negative connection to SDI. There is no way expanding or canceling SDI could do anything to bring it about.
