From what my testing found, the increase again was minimal at best when using the stock exhaust, and the tradeoff with the cart running rich at lower RPN's in my opinion makes the swap not really worth it ... The 87-down 2PG's and the 89-up 3PG's were rated at 9HP, 1988 was the only year of the 2-stroke rated at 11HP and again, that was due to the carb AND exhaust. From practical, real-world experience I can say that the early 2PG's seem to rev a bit better than the 3PG's, although the 3PG's feel a bit "torquier" (if that's an actual word, LOL) - but the 88 model year is hands down the peepiest and fastest of all the 2-strokes I have owned or played with
