How much to hop up a ms290?
I'm not sure what all can be done to a saw to improve performance other then a basic muffler mod and port job, maybe piston change.
I was running my 290 today and I'm not thrilled about it's performance. I run a 20" bar with a stihl yellow chain with an aggressive raker setting. (I like pulling big chips)
Been running my ms261c and it has more power then my 290 with the same bar/chain set up.
While I'm at it, is there anyone in the Houston area that does good work?
I'm not looking for a hot rod saw, just a better running saw over stock. It still needs to be easy to start and dependable.
Thanks
