Voiding would include a MM, BG delete and timing advance.
Should I void my warranty?

As long as you chain sharpening is excellent and your work technique is outstanding go nuts. Otherwise you are a fat guy in a sports car.

I am guessing that you probably already have voided it!!
You already know what I think. 
A good sharp chain is the best upgrade you can make for a saw. Don't be a cheap azz and wear them toothless. A good chain is $15-$20 and saves the whole saw so buy new often and your saw will last longer. Screwing around with a saw in a days work might save you 10 minutes if it is set right air/fuel mix to start with.
Do not void your warranty, unless you really want to or unless someone on here says it's ok.

Depends on if you plan on using the warranty.
For the most part I find them useless as when I've tried to make a warranty claim on most any product they just give you the runaround then charge me for xyz because they can, and the whole time I could have already bought new and been making a buck or getting something done rather than messing around for hrs on end waiting and driving back and forth to attempt to get the help I needed.
One great exception to this was when a friends kid broke the handle on my Fiscars splitting axe. I contacted them and they said they needed me to fill out the form online and provide a picture of it, no problem as it took me about 5 min because I was already on their site and already had a couple pictures. I had a new axe in a couple days
.Now to be honest, why do you need it to cut faster and to be louder, you're only running an 18 on it and it's a 4hp saw. As was stated, keep your chain fresh and cut, if your doing production work or want to run a longer bar then I get that.
As far as buying a new chain often, that makes no sense to me unless the chain has been filed back to the witness marks.
A sharp chain is not an upgrade, it's like a clean air filter or running good fuel, it's just how it should be.

Ha no but I was close! I had the muffler off looking at what it would take to do some mods.
Restrictive mufflers hold heat. Fix that. Done (for now).You can do that without making an obnoxiously loud machine, btw.

Even after not owning a saw for a while I can still sharpen a chain in my sleep. I’m already running a reasonable fast chain Stihl RS. And it’s always sharp! I had a Echo 590 that would smoke a 555 with the same mods just because of the chain!

Would you like a link to a Magnum sticker
.So you ran a dull chain on the triple nickel so the 590 would beat it

And do that with extreme caution. Too much and you have a loud pos.

What did you do to the toaster oven, install a micro-controller with a PID loop?
I modded the latch mechanism on my microwave because it failed
