I've got another thread going on the milling forum about bar size for my 372xp (non xtorq), So, I'll start by saying this saw will be used for milling at 9500ft elevation on softwood.
My squish measures 39 using solder as a gauge. This seems higher than desired. Seems like I could do a delete and get this down around 29 ish. I'm pretty much set on doing this. If it had measured in the low 30s I might consider staying away from it as I don't want a saw that runs too hot considering the duty cycle will be 100% for 3-5mins per cut. Any reason I should not do a base gasket delete based on those numbers? Will I gain enough HP to make it worth it?
