  1. Just my 2 peneth on the 550 . I think they are a different design internally than 3 series saws not leaving a huge scope for porting work as they are pretty efficient as standard . There are gains to be had in the muffler mod department . My 560 has had the exhaust can cut and shut ( cut open , a strategic amount of baffle removed and welded back up ) . Its a loony on an 18" bar driven by an 8 pin .

  7. Ok understood . My 372 is pre X torque by a long chalk but is spud ported so performs above standard . Totally reliable . If you can get a good / recent pre X torque saw then thats the way I would go knowing what I know . Then get spud to port it !

    Take no notice of me . I am an old git and old school to boot . I hate having to conform or being told what to do when it does not matter . I understand the image thing and my view is incorrect for today I admit . I do think if you " cock up " which happens occasionally you look doubly daft in your uniform ! I am wrong though , before any one shoots me down ....
