porting husqvarna

[pbillyi69]

this will be an easy question. for all of you porters has anyone ran their saw before porting with timed cuts then just done case matching and a muffler mod then taken times with the same wood and chain to see if there were noticable gains? I have an older stihl that had good port numbers and came with duel poet muffler and it always ran really strong. i have a husky 357 that i ran stock for a long time and recently had pa dan mod the muffler and it made a difference but dont have any times to go by just my experience with that saw.

Muffler mod is usually a good thing on factory single outlets.


Case matching a non ported saw is like meh.

thank you that is exactly what i thought the result would be.

It did not confirm or deny anything.

It matters I'm sure but not enough to notice it imo. Might add a tiny bit of grunt done well. Done poorly it will usually add some unwanted case volume. How it is done would determine a plus or minus for most users.

i wasnt saying that you did or didnt. what i was saying is that my suspected result of just case matching the edge of the cylinder would not make enough of a difference to be actually noticed enough to make it worth while without doing full port job
