Do you guys think an 064/early 066 crank will hold up to this level of performance?

Eric had an early 066 that he raced, Dave Neiger gave it to him. It run real good to if it weren't for the a fire. I ran it at Nates GTG a couple years back. It is the saw that I copied the pipe pattern from.

I think it is on the limiter the whole time:hmm3grin2orange:

That's the same thing Terry asked me. :)

I think I'll concentrate on learning to operate it well then boost ports, then alky.

So is the cylinder basically a standard port job plus lots more exhaust duration? No extra transfers? That thing's very impressive. I would have thought that it would take a lot more than that to make a saw run like that. Tempting, very tempting:) I don't claim to known anything more than woods porting, but I might be tempted to play after seeing that kind of results.

That saw is the big bore 064 I built awhile back Brad. It has a lightened 395 piston in it and the transfer tunnels have been enlarged a lot. The carb has been bored as well.....also the ignition timing is further advanced than a woods saw. With the exhaust at 85° it's still blowing 170psi so a lot of work went into getting that.

upstate, n.y.
I think I'd rather risk a new saw than a 20 year old saw I restored to like new. I think my 390XP would be sweet with a pipe! I'm on the lookout for a spare jug for it. I already tried to kill it twice, and we both survived, lol. Randy, that 064 is sure sweet!

I can sympathize about desecrating your mega:heart:hour resto .
And , I think your 390 piped , would destroy any Stihl's that dare tread near it :hmm3grin2orange:
