562xp. Autotune and would like to buy a husky someday... never used either just my opinion.
 
So my biggest reason to pick the Husky would be based almost entirely on reviews, research, and stats. I was actually considering the Stihl for a 60cc saw until I saw the new Husky, and started researching it. I've had good experience owning Huskies, so it didn't take too much to convince me that I wanted a 562. It will prolly be my next new saw.
 
I have heard stories you should run the 562 wide open for so long in something big to self adjust from factory settings which meet emissions. Has anybody else heard of this.

I believe only in high altitude. It's set at the factory for under 3000ft. After a few full throttle cuts in some bigger wood it'll run just fine. Altitude, temp and fuel are the main issues. First rule of thumb with any autotune is to open up the muff. Cheapest way to gain power.
 
How do you like that Total bar on there Jake? I was undecided on a Total or Techlite but i ended up going with the Techlite.

Everything I have to say about these two bars is 100% positive. From the price on down to the fit and finish. The 20" & 28" cost $100.00 and you just cant beat that! Unfortunately I've never ran a techlite so I have no basis for comparison. If money were no object, I'd love to have one, or two.. Maybe three.

Same here although I never owned one. We ran one an older Husky at work for awhile though, a 2 something series. Strong runner. I will say that their is a somewhat of husky slant here at AS that I see, (I'm very new here though) BUT I can see why. Most are great saws. I guess I'm beginning the CAD, cause there are a lot of good chainsaws out there, most brands and ages.:msp_w00t:

Where does a noob go to find out how to do this? I've tried searching and reading through dozens of threads but can't seem to find an easy to understand answer.

Try a search on Stumpy's 562 build or Tzed250 550 build. It's been quite a while since I've looked at those threads. Someone here may have them bookmarked.
 
Love my 562. Seems to keep getting stronger and stronger every tank of fuel. I know it knocks my 036 in the dirt.
