Clinically Diagnosed with CAD
I'm sure I will get flamed for this, but let me explain...
My dad has a Stihl MS661C that he loves to brag about. Even though my little saws have saved him a few times, but I digress. Anyway, yesterday I pulled the trigger on an MS660 kit, partially because it was cheap, and partially because I want a big saw that will see light use.
But then the more I read about these saws, and the OEM parts people buy for them, I got to thinking....could this saw be built to have more power than the 661?
Obviously this is not going to be a Stihl. I know it isn't as reliable, isn't of the same quality, blah blah blah. but what it is is a large chainsaw I can build myself that if done right could be a useful tool.
So, for those of you saw experts, what can I do to make more power with this saw kit? And has anybody compiled a list of parts and maybe part numbers to swap out for OEM just to make it more reliable?
Again, I am completely understanding that this is NOT A STIHL.
