Lateral Gas Porting on a 2 stroke to gain hp

Lateral gas porting was taught to me by Matt Kneen. He built winning snowmobiles for years and used this technique in them. If you want to read a thread he is in this is a great one.
www.mopedarmy.com/forums/read...
I do this to all of my personal builds and see a great improvement with increased compression, lower temps, and larger carbs.
If you want some micro bits, I use these are they are good. but expect to break a couple because they are so small. - amzn.to/3sR5vV6

    That induces carbon buildup creating stuck rings in 2000 miles. The Piston seizes up at the bottom skirt area. From overheating from lack of lubrication/lean mixture. Only drive it at night😅😅😅😅 or do what someone did in the 70s that is drill approximately.020 deep divots on both piston skirts to catch oil. 1/4 drill you can drill them evenly spaced in a pattern if desired at least five divots no need for more than 10 on each skirt. Then you can haul ass Non-Stop

I'm gonna try this but what is the difference between this and vertical gas porting when you drill through the top of the piston? would that also work on a 2 stroke? also why don't these holes cause blowby? to me drilling these holes sounds like bypassing the ring? and also does it matter when drilling if it nicks the ring land itself as long as it doesn't hit the lower part you said? and why do you drill on the top and not bottom?

    They do NOT need to go up like a half moon. That guy did HUGE ones with a drill bit. You only need a notch. Back when people started doing it, no one knew about micro bits so people were using the smallest drill bits they could find. CornPed came from my name Maize which means corn and mopeds, Ped. Its not that original. I made a blog like 15 years ago and at the time someone was calling me CornFace, so I decided to call the blog CornPed. I could choose a different youtube name but I havent thought of a better one.

Parts I have: Polini kit Estoril sidebleed 17 tooth gear (free spirit 1 speed so 35 in the back) should I go with a bigger rear sprocket? Clone 15 bing (might switch to the mallosi 4 petal and a mikuni vm20) Running stock points Treatmetric 3 shoe clutch Let me know what you think and if I should change my setup at all. I was running an airsal kit with a biturbo pipe before and it caught a ring on the exhaust port unfortunately. I was looking for about 50mph but I haven’t switched out my front forks or changed any suspension components so that might be a little aggressive. Thanks
