I've asked in the past about big bored 460's and what not, In my hunt for more power as I feel that I need it (Boredom) and then talk myself out of it (Balance the checkbook) and I've heard mixed reviews on the Big Bore saws.
At altitude they seem to work less that ideal. Might be an issue for me...
Without a port job, they don't work all that great.
I would definately send it to a builder to get a port job, mostly aimed at more torque.
Now for the question part, do the big bore jugs add more low end grunt to saws (vs. original displacement) specifically, or is it top end power... or just power all around?
In terms of Stihl, they offer the same displacement as the next size larger of saws (440>460 460>660) and on that scale, do they offer less torque than the next larger size saw, or just less power all around?
Im just curious on the fundamentals of this whole concept... because I don't have near enough money to test myself. If I had... I'd need a 460 ported, 460bb ported and a 660... hmmmm
....If I sell the truck...
