Does anyone here have any ideas or ways to make a 201tc more powerfull?

Sharpen the chain.

Tiny , tiny improvement might be gained by removing the spark arrestor screen if it has one . Other than a magic wand I think porting is the way to go . Oh and as Mick says proper sharp chain and proper clean air filter .

Trade it in on a rebuilt MS200T

Speed striped and sticking your tongue out works. But on a serious note smaller 12" bar the better it'll probably be.

What generation of 201 do you have.

Ah , yes . The upgrade kit .....

Upgrade kit worked well on the first 201t. Developed by Brad Snelling as I understand it.

Pretty soon Stihl adopted it and after that they were fine.

Drill a hole in the exhaust and retune it.
