A ported engine with a undersized carb is going to be boggy from lack of air-fuel mix.

I have not experienced that on a chainsaw engine. Sure, carb mods can make a difference (I do them sometimes), but they certainly aren't required to see significant gains with porting.
What a woods port entails is ever evolving. It used to mean not much more than widening the ports. It's only in the last couple of years that you could expect significant compression increases, ignition advance, etc. Builders pushing builders makes for a buyers market
Brad, many of us were doing more than sanding the ports the last couple years.
As have I. I'm simply saying that what is expected out of a port job here on AS has changed significantly over the last 5 years.
Maybe your work, not mine!......Hahahahahaha!
I have a Masterminded NE346XP and was concerned about the stock carb on it. It has a limited coil also. Guess I should consider changing them both out. Not sure what carb to go with though.

It does, but it benefits significantly from more.

The factory carb will supply all of the fuel that a woods port will need for a work saw. If you are cutting cookies the walbro 199 will give you a very slight edge.
Change the coil.
