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 ;))…

I never found one of those in a saw. I have found a money pit or two

went chuck hunting today, got me a nice 12"4 jaw and a 8" 3 jaw with soft jaws

Julian said he's cuming on Saturday, hope that doesn't slow up testing.

i'm going to work on ign timing tomorrow

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?

I tend to look at it this way, if it was "maxed out" then there would be an end to this and someone would write a how to book about it. Connect dot A to dot B then to dot C and D for done. This hasn't happened and all we can do is our best due diligence. You are one of the best examples of this to be found and I truly mean that as a high compliment to your work ethic.
