You can port a chainsaw???

...what will they think of next auto tuning carbs.
I heard they were coming out with something called flippy crap.
I'm wondering "when" the evolution of the finger or boost port is coming in works saws, especially with all that high compression?.......Hahahahahahaha!
In simple terms my ported 372xpw cuts even with my dual port 066 with 32" bar and weighs 3# less. Hope thats the simple answer your looking for. More power everywhere.
Edit* I would be interested to hear what a "woods" port mean to others. And to be clear, my post isn't questioning anyones work, just the terminology behind "woods" port. It was a discussion I had with a friend earlier tonight oddly enough.

Finger porting makes my finger stink.
Big Dave put a set of finger ports in my 7900. It was a woods ported work saw with offset pop up that could cut a cookie too. :msp_thumbsup:
Sent it out west when I was done playing and the saw earned it's living flawlessly out there.
Tom, while not strictly related to porting, guys like mweba (and likely others, I just don't know who offhand) are working to use the AutoTune software to improve how the Husky AT saws respond after porting.
Although I do understand the AT system works fairly well at managing a ported saw, if there are more gains to be had by learning a little code, it's a good thing. People were afraid of EFI when it came around in cars, now the tuner chips make any backyard oil changer into a hot rodder.
What happened with Big Dave, did he just retire? :msp_confused:
Rayonier was pretty famous for having some hotrod saws in-house. One of their bullbucks back in the day worked with my grandpa out of Philomath. They had some real knowledgeable mechanics back then who were all about turning the saws up. I wouldn't be surprised if that motor has had a lot of work internally.
No doubt there are people making the most of the available technology.
People have been bumping compression, modifying ports, advancing ignition timing, swapping carbs etc. for decades. There seems to be a notion that because there weren't youtube videos this never happened.
When did the Mac kartsaws first show up?
What's the oldest shop that was modding saws? Are they still around?
Has woods porting evolved or has there been a separate category created: modified for the purposes of racing in the woods port class at GTGs?
Mac kartsaws showed up in the early 60's maybe late 50's
Oldest shop I heard of porting saws was Ace Morgan's in Coos Bay, Oregon.....late 60's or early 70's. He died off year ago.
I think the early saw racing days started the modding of regular works saws out west IMO. It was the early 70's when I started fooling around with the evolutionary muffler mods and sanded ports!......Hahahahahaha!
