Default 250 to 300 cylinder swap (search for torque)

Has anyway swapped their 250 to a 300 with the cylinder head kit?
This is my first 250 2-stroke Iv always been a 4 stroke or 300xc KTM guy..
I really like my 2019 GG 250xc but it is in my opinion a zingy 250, like a yz 125.. (ok maybe not that zingy &#128518 but you get the idea.
I like bottom end torque, I ride down low in the meat.
Iv looked at the 300cc cylinder head swaps on eBay.. just wonder if it will be worth the money? technically speaking it should be really? but I also have never rode a GG300 so are they tractor pull, grunt workers like the KTM 3honey?
Also, would swapping out the FMF fatty for a Gnarly make much of a difference? (Pre-cylinder swap that is) it would be nice to just swap out pipes in order to gain what I want but I just can see it making ?that big? of a difference alone.
And yes, most people will suggest ?do the gnarly pipe first and if it?s not enough so the cylinder swap??. Yes, thank you.. that?s great advice.
I?m wonder more if anyone has already experimented and could share their thoughts on rather the expensive cylinder swap is money well spent or is the slightly cheaper (not by much these days) gnarly pipe a good change to gain low end?
