i'm not taking that chance
Tried the 36 yet?View attachment 153461 Stihl MS 462 with the older brother MS 880
And 2 thirds less the price to build and runSo difficult to tune those V-12 Ferraris, and the humility of having the Ford 427 V-8 kick their Arse in the 1966 24 Hours of Lemans! (GT-40s finished 1,2 + 3)

yep, I did it.
my guess is it won't change cut times.
post your guess here.
It's about time!if it gets gains, i'll eat crow. i'm ok with that. I just don't see why it would.
Tastes like crap!taste like chicken?

I’ve thought a lot about the various interactions of the individual mods that constitute porting a saw and how altering any one of them could have a chain reaction that would then necessitate further changes in other areas to take advantage/compensate.
Even though they do all have to work together in the end, it seems varying the order which they are tried in still could lead down different paths and to some degree end up with very different outcomes.
The rare times I do an incremental build, it drives me crazy thinking of all the combinations and possibilities.
I’m probably way overthinking this but…
Assuming the gutted stratos see no gain, short of trying many combinations, how do you know it’s not because that mod favors a different set of parameters?
Maybe some extreme like 84 degrees of intake and 12 degrees of blowdown, a 2” muffler exit (and a popup)…
you have to chase your tail to get it right in the end.
so what are we really doing in this process?
is the cylinder maxed out when we can't find more gains?
