Interceptor horsepower

For what it's worth I got the Certificate of Origin with the Interceptor # 30. It said that the machine had 88 horsepower. Didn't search to see if that had already been posted here or not.

  Sounds about right...  manual says 84...  Trucker mentioned he saw one dyno at 93ish.  Every motor will be a little different.  Every dyno a little different.

If Billy G is still around he has much experiance with 550's.  It seems like they would dyno in the low 90's.  I've never done it or seen it, just a rumor??

Let's just say I'm technically challenged when it comes to scanning and posting pictures. If I ever figure it out I'll post it.
