Hey Dan,
It was nice to see you again, your saws continue to impress.................Very stout !!!!

I gotta ask though,,,, were you trying to melt down that 2171 (i think) toward the end ????
I think You tuned it to 16,200, and it held 13,200 in the cut, when Knobby made 2 cuts with it......... I was askeered it was gonna have a meltdown...
I wanted to ask you about that when we had "the bait" ( Deadliest catch) afterwords, but you snuck out before I could..
 
I turned it up because someone on here told me that a ported 372 would run its best set at 13800 or below. My 2171 will hold almost that in the cut.

I don't worry about a melt down on that saw, it will still for stroke a little at 16000. I ran it at that rpm for many years. Years ago my son was cutting firewood with that saw. He was about 1/2 mile from my house. I heard the saw screaming after about 4 hours, I jumped in my truck and drove as fast as I could to stop him. It was turning over 17000 for who knows how many hours. I turned it back down to about 15000, he was pissed at me and told me it was to slow.

I still need to stop by and see you and run that bad boy.
 
Dan,
I didn't get to shoot the **** with you as much as I wanted to @ the end of the day. I really struggled for a while with the decision to let you work the 357 or swap to the 346. I wondered if you get similar gains with 57, cause your 2149&346 just flat out impress the snot out of me every time I run 'em. That 2171 was ridiculous! Duane's 372 was awesome too!

You will be happy with your ported 357, just think of it as one of my 346s on steroids.
