I just got my first 550XP, from you, sir, and via mweba, who ported it. I have a bit of 33RS chisel .325 left. Had a 20" bar, and mounted it up. That's the wide kerf .325. I only ever used a bit of normal (dunno if it was narrow kerf), but it was semi-chisel Oregon, and it was slow. Since then, I used up most of a reel of the 33RS, but prefer 3/8..especiallly as all my 3 cube saws were, and are ported.
By the way, the 550, which likely isn't broken in yet, cuts well. ( don't know how many tanks Mitch ran through it, and all I've done is some timed cuts. I've yet to get back my Slingerized 346 from Mitch, who was repairing it, but it cut about 25-30% slower than my 357, ported by Ed Heard some years ago, which is very strong, and is sporting a new 24" bar, and full square chisel, semi-skip.
