I have an 044, 028, and homelite xl925 super. I am thinking about having one ported, but don't know which one. Help me decide. I don't have unlimited cash either.
Which saw to port

Too bad you don't have a Homelite 330, that would be the one to send to Mastermind for a hop-up.

I asked a similar question to my dealer, but my options were 372, 359 or 026. I was thinking the priority should be 026, 359 then 372. He stated I would see the best gains out of the 372, 359 and 026. The 372 does the felling and majority of the bucking, which really is where the power is needed, the 026 does the limbing and smaller duty. I'm looking to take the 372 in during Feb.
I agree.
044 hands down.

I say 044
044 needs a new piston, possibly cylinder too. Still worth it?

I've got a pristine Homey 330 if you want to take Jacob's advice. There is good reason why this saw is in pristine condition.

I never had you figured for a Hume Cronyn fan.
More the reason to get it done.

Do something original: 925.
044s have been done to death (although it would be the prudent choice).

Throw an 046 top end on the 044 then port it. That would be fun:msp_w00t:
