Evening!
So, I’ve got the itch to tinker with my 372xt after watching pretty much all of AFC’s videos on the saw in question. My plan is:
-Mod muffler (done)
-Base gasket delete
-Gut stratification dividers from air horn & intake boot (but leave the carb innards be)
-Profile cylinder intake (knife edge the 2 ports to favor the bottom)
Down the road, I’ll likely convert this saw to a 51.4mm 372xpw OE, or just a 50mm 372xp OE, but with port work & other modifications.
Questions:
-Have any of you done this modification successfully?
-What gains are likely to be seen from modding the stratification dividers, and is it worth the effort?
Long term input or reviews on saw’s built/modified this way are most welcome!!
Thanks much!

. I’m really interested in going full OE on the thing, but perhaps buying a good set of used OE cases and starting from scratch would be more fun
