It was an assumption. One based on if he can get his hands on it, he can't leave well enough alone. Good chance he's ported a Carbon Fibre Stihl as well.
The 1/4 picco .043 chain has been the fastest chain for me for carving. If the 170 went a few more rpm, it would have been lethal. Now my 200 (finally) runs right, I've considered putting that chain and bar on it but it does work really well with the .050. Every time I'm in the shop I wonder if we could squeeze a little more out of a 150. It would help a little when working at shoulder height. I'm just finding now, when your beating away for 8 hours a day, you've gotta be able to work efficiently. Otherwise all your doing is playing and working for Stihl.
You could sell both. Some people prefer manual adjusting, some are afraid of a cpu, so there is a market for both.
Out of the box the m-tronic responds like the 200t.

I have an adjustable 201T Brad did. I bought the MTronic one and while it ripped right outta the box the adjustable could be tuned to run stronger with the same mods so i sold the MTronic and bought another adjustable one .
I asked Brad about porting a 201T awhile ago & I do believe he said that he never did.
I have not ported a 150, 192, 193, or 201.
Change timing on a 150 maybe?
Yes. These models all respond very well to a muffler mod and timing advance.

Do you have a thread on the gains? Whenever I do a search, results come up for 201's.

Very interesting and informative thread. Brad...if you didn't do mods and were like the 85% of us that don't, what 201 saw would you say you would buy knowing mods were not going to be performed?
The MTronic 201TC for sure.
What can you get the 150 for Brad at the dealer?
Brad, do you know how much timing advance you gave it?

What's not to understand mustangmike? He advanced the top handle 480 dollars worth and the rear handle 525 dollars worth. Pretty black and white to me.
