Have you looked at the 590? They can be had cheap

Both Brad and Randy have done port build threads on the 600ps and both reported some serious gains. At a minimum,, the H screw needs more rich. I toasted one of mine when I first got it running it hard with the stock carb setting.
man, I learned a lot since then and being on this site..expensive education, but...worthwhile olong run for me.
Before that though, zooba, it could sling some chips, so ported must be something else. The new 620 is supposed to be significanty better, new port shapes and better ignition somehow, etc, but cost more. I bet the 590 timberwolf, then ported, would be most adequate, on a new saw budget.

I have a 2nd gen 600p and for a 60cc saw, it has not left me wanting anything. Except porting 
It runs strong and starts in 2-3 pulls. I have an 18" sugihara bar on it and really have to be jammin to bog it. Great saw

That would be interesting, I hope they won't be overpriced.

I bought a 600p this past Sunday. I gotta say I like it a lot. It's replacing a 6700 (will now be a backup), and it think it's every bit as good a saw.

I got a 600P for my nephew last year... He loved it for about 100 tanks worth, then crushed the tank with a hedge limb... $75.00 for a new tank/handle assembly from the dealer, and he was off and running again... I thought 75 was pretty reasonable really...
While it was apart, I left out the base gasket and raised the transfers to the original stock point and it's an incredibly strong 59cc saw...
Lots of torque for a 20" bar... Dudn't touch the intake or exhaust. He runs the crap out of it... Quad port jug, very nice quality...
And yes, they require proper tuning out of the box... Some are ok, others need some fuel added...

great replies thankyou guys,always wanted to try one,then i think should i just stay with stihl and be able to swap out my MS361 bars and chains 20" 3/8 rsc,262 cm 362 cm 441 cm,ms310,ms390............THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT......
HOW DID IT RUN WITH YOUR 361 PRO??? JUST THINKING I LIKE SOMETHING AS COMPARABLE OR MORE THAN MY MS361 MAGNUM......THANKS

The good comparison would be to the 620

Yes... Why?
They are all very adequate...
If you're looking for something to slap the snot out of your 361, you'd need a Husky 562xp...
WELL N
WELL NOT SURE ABOUT THAT MY BROTHER HAS ONE AND I REALLY HAVE TO GIVE THE EDGE TO MY 361

Maybe your chain sharpening skills are light years ahead of his...
Cause that's what it would take to pull that one off...
Sometimes we forget how much difference that makes...
