I’m not saying the ported saw won’t gain too, not saying that at all. What I’m saying is for the R&D saw I feel, and this is just my opinion, that it should be completely broken in. This way when you are making changes, testing, changes, testing you can be 100% sure any gains are from your work and not from the saw breaking in. Then when no more gains can be achieved you can take those mods and claim you got X% gain over stock. I’m going to refer back to Scott’s thread again. His first 462 was getting small gains here and there, he came up with a final recipe with x% gain. Now when he did the second 462 with no prior running did he have the same x% gain? I could pretty much guarantee not because the r&d saw was run a lot. So how does he know what mods he did actually did much at all? How can you compare the torque when the saw is still breaking in? In my opinion torque is what is gained most from a broken in saw. It just makes a lot more sense to me to let the stock saw get what it’s gonna get after a few gallons of fuel before starting the R&D. This may be how you do it, I don’t know, but if I recall correctly, Scott started testing with a NIB saw. In the end though all this is pretty much irrelevant except when dikhead beats his chest and says I got a 30% gain when half or more is from the saw breaking in.But you did bring up an interesting point. The stock saw will gain as it breaks in.....and I agree completely. But why do you think the ported saw will not gain as it breaks in?
