Hey guys got some video of some saws in action today. The MS460 has a NWP bigbore kit on it with a modded muffler on it. I built the Ms 460 about a year ago and has a lot of tanks run through it. I gutted the muffler and welded a 3/4" pipe to it. This Big bore 460 will out run a stock 460.
The 461R here has about a half a tank run through it so it will gain power with more run time. The 461 has better torque for sure. Looks like the 461 beats the 460 by 2 seconds. The 461 spit a cookie at the 460 to show who's boss:msp_w00t:

Nice vids. I agree, we just a new 461 at work and right out of the box its stronger than a 460. I know yours is a muff modded big bore. But still the 461 is very impressive bone stock!!
 
After reading the MS461 threads and watching videos like this I don't know what I'm waiting for. :dizzy::dizzy:
 
I have lots more wood for the 461 to cut. I'm going to add a dual port muffler cover to it and retune before I use it again. I'm impressed with how it runs stock so I'm holding off on porting it till the warranty runs out. By that time I should be a better porter.
 
You should put a cookie under the cutting area, i don't know if its just me but it seems that you dunk your chain into the ground on every second video.
