Speed feed heads are awesome, I have one on my Ego trimmer!

I used this one from Duke's : Duke's Nikasil Piston and Cylinder Kit 60mm 576

I agree, those saws have good balance. I ended up putting an AM piston and cylinder on the 576 and it has been running great (someone detonated the original piston putting a hole through the top and both ring lanes. I have another 575 to work on and am looking forward to seeing what is going...
