    As yet there is no known antidote for death . When it comes everyone will be on SRT no worries ?

    I will conceded that noise pollution does go up with most ported saws . My 372 was mentioned once or twice .

    Ok woodie . I don't think you get something for nothing as it goes but hey ho . You carry on using your stock saws and I/we will carry on using our ported saws . ( you should at least try one if you get the chance ) It would be a dull old world if we were all the same bud . ? @Woodworks

    The " square " of fuel , emission , power and longevity as you put it , " up one and one has to give " is not quite as simple as that . When the saw is ported it runs cooler and more efficiently so it is not working so hard for a given task , say a 16" diameter log cross cutting . The ported saw goes through in say 10 seconds the stock saw say 15 seconds . The ported saw is quicker because it is less restricted . It burns more fuel but burns it more efficiently and because it is quicker in the cut there is less time on the throttle than the stock saw . X this by all day and you have certainly no more emissions and maybe less . The saw lasts for say 7 years cos it does not struggle to over come restrictions the stock saw lasts say 5 years because it works harder . @Woodworks

    Disagree about emissions also . OK you are passing more fuel through the saw but it is burning more efficiently . As for economy not a big difference . Don't forget you are cutting faster so less time on the trigger . If you are using shorter bars you can usually go up to an 8 pin from a standard 7 pin giving more chain speed . This will sacrifice a little torque so not a good idea on longer bars .

    Most of my saws are ported and I believe I was one of , or Steves first customer . I have a 346XP that is a 2004 model and still going strong . I don't think it compromises reliability , in fact quite the opposite as it makes them run cooler and more efficiently . He has worked on my 372 , my 390 . All showing noticeable gains

    My dealer has all the saws that I have ever bought from him registered . The police should have access to these I would have thought .
