Stihl had a weird transition period where they were making saws with a cylinder slanted between vertical and horizontal, like the 045 and 056.

whats the best saw to port for a sleeper? is there any saw that makes an obsurd amount of power after porting that punches way above its cc size?

like for example could a 266 ported run with or outrun a stock 288?

If you are willing to consider another brand, my Echo CS-500P really woke up after Kris at S&S worked his magic on it.

254xp in my opinion. Much lighter and nimbler than a 262, and can be gnarly when ported. I know that ported 562’s can run like ported 70cc saws too.

My vote is the 365 special. Most people don't think anything of them. With a good port job + RWJ carb, they will rob a 90cc saw blind in wood up to 24". I don't have an actual 365sp, but rather a Jred 2165.

Is the 254XP an Orange Jonsered 2054?

I don't believe there is any relationship between those two.

True and true.
