1996 thundercat 900

I was curious does anyone know what the horsepower would be roughly on 1996 thundercat 900. If you have a rough guess it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I've got a 96 T-cat 900. I had it tweaked by a guy who
radar ran the same model/year sled in the '90's. He said it was
160 hp stock, 174 or so after he ported it and shaved the
heads a tad, and added Boyeson reeds. That was per his dyno testing on his sled. Every sled varies a little. This engine
has a ton of potential and has been modded up to over 300hp.
Cost of 300hp version is about 10,000 dollars.

It was 168 from the factory! Porting and pipes and reeds and carbs will get you to 200HP! And about 3 grand less wealthy! To go much over 200 you need to have 2 extra exhaust ports added for another 2000! and you get 220!
A simple set of pipes is about 500 and you can do some milled port cleaning youself and get about 180hp with out ruining reliability!
