Ya, that's what I normally, Rick wanted to try a 064 piston, so we're going to do that. Takes more work, but hopefully it'll make a nice runner.

Simon, did you raise the intake skirt on it? Just curious to know some of your "Top Secret Super Mods"
I might start working one of my new 460s here today. R We doing a 460 build?

Parris if you would rather I can send you a meteor 460 piston or you can order one from baileys and keep tabs of expenses and I will reimburse you no problem or run the stock one but from what I remember seeing you're going to be limited on port width with the stock piston. the 460 Meteor piston kit will have a wider skirt than the OEM piston and it will be less work than the 064/640,,, I have everything to do the 064 piston work anyway and I've got a few Ideas I want to try

Yeah why not? Always wondered how my saws would do against the "izer" pros.

That's the way to head into this thing. I've had the chance to run saws built by lots of different builders. You know what??? Most of em run about the same. A nice sharp chain is still the most important thing you can have on your saw.
Hope to see you at Sawtoberfest.

You are right there! Less is more a lot of the time. The fastest 385 I ever built I had forgot to open up the muffler and port match it to the exhaust port! Go figure. Really stepping up and participating is worth a lot to me I wish I could of made the first 372 build, but I just plain old didn't have the time or the saw. We should do some sorta build once a month or season at least. I hope Will makes the build he ports a mean saw and has done some pop ups for me in the past. The 460 with a 064 piston makes a powerhouse of a saw if done right.

A spring event and a fall one would be great. Say a different brand or at least model each time. Right now I'm set for a 026/ms260 build off.

I don't think I would want to ask for any of Simon's secrets. From what I have heard if he tells you any of his secret mod tricks, they will send out hit men to kill you. Those secrets are like a national treasure up there where Simon lives.

Do we have a list yet on who all is competing in Sawtoberfest?
I think I remember Terry saying that one of the rules was going to be only one entry for each saw builder.
Simon, Who is going to bring a saw to represent you in the competition?
You should bring one yourself and visit us all down here!

Most folks are a lot more apt to talk in PMs.
I was not referring to Simon. I meant the government up there would come after you for learning his secrets. I may have already said to much. I hope they are not watching us right now. :quiet:
