Many Thanks
I have never tried a bridge or finger port. IMHO, there are other ways of getting enough transfer area without that kind of modification to cylinder.

The poulan 655 has a boost port right ? If that similar to a finger port?

Anybody running a weisco piston in a ported saw?
Anyone else porting that's not on the list?

I think Brad has a Weisco in a 372xp.

I'd like to see a build thread on a work saw with a race piston. Wonder how much you would gain....
That's the neverfail Armstrong model & when you throw them out of a window on a boat they are officially ported!I just came in here to learn about porting saws. I got one on the bench but I'm not sure where to get started.

No, the guys who REALLY know their stuff; the ones who have sold to pros and only pros, because pros are the main consumer. Those guys have reputation through word of mouth. No fancy advertising, no shiny stickers, just a saw shop & a phone number...
Find one of them & you'll get a saw that makes power, where it counts...
In my humble opinion, builders that sell mostly to non pros are on a completely different level. I could get even more specific, but I might hurt feelings.
This is what makes me run away...
Put the thing in a piece of wood, not a ****ing buckskin piece of **** that's 2/3 rotton.
Two totally different ways of porting. Work saw vs. cookie cutter. Most on here don't know the difference, they just see a video of a saw screaming thru the wood and want one. This is where the arguments stems from. People that don't know the difference but will defend their builder to the bitter end.
Couldn't agree more. Last 660 I got done barely gained any rpm, but the power is there. Id rather have a saw that can spin the clutch than one that turns way faster and makes more noise...

This is a work saw. That's all I build. My build philosophy is that a good work saw will have both torque and RPMs. I like a real hotrod.
Rpm for what? A bigger gas bill? Lets see some rpm #s on that jonsered pulling 32" skip through Green wood. Lets see how much it leans out after burning a tank in the face alone.
When your in a pickle and need extra power NOW, that torque is what will save the day.
I think perhaps you should focus on your chains before anything else Brad.

Torque is what holds rpm in the cut. If done right higher rpm in the cut is what ya get.
A properly built falling OR bucking saw wont turn much faster than stock, but it won't loose rpm nearly as easy... i dont need 3000+ drop in rpm just from pushing a little on a 16" round.. I dont want that loss in 42"..
