I have pulled many limiter caps to make a saw run better. It is pretty obvious when the saw isn't tuned properly and it runs like crap
Now as far as muffler mods I have not timed any saws before and after, although I would be surprised if someone on here hasn't. I''m sure snelling must have done that.
Most of the people here.
Saws are lean and choked down.
Change those two things, Your saw runs cooler and you gain speed in your cuts.
Down side: louder and use more fuel.

Yes, I almost forgot: "brace for impact" lol

your saw runs fster because you have leaned it out, that will blow the saw up. what have you gained then?

Many saws have to be richened up to run properly. The factories have most leaned out to make emissions.

Drilling holes in your muffler will not give your saw more power. It is still the same size enging running at the same rpm, doing muffler mods only change where you "powr band" is. I'm betting someone a hell of a lot smarter than me making a whole lot more money has set these saws, within limits, to run at there optimum preformance levels. I mean they did engineer them.

A lean saw will NOT be faster than a properly tuned saw.. Takes fuel to make horsepower..Period.. Go stir the #### elsewhere.
Modifying a muffler and retuning after said alterations will without a doubt make 99% of all stock saws cut better.

The engineers have to make emissions ----We don't.
