He just did a cool build thread on this. Look for the cs730 hybrid.**** ya that is one pissed off Echo. Build info or is it a sneaky saw?
I like.
Cs600 +14cc displacement.
Its just a 590 but it will noodle all day with the 20 buried in oak wish I had videos.
Here is my stock 620 noodling with a 27" bar and full comp chain... I think this was in the first 3 tanks and it just kept getting better. Very solid saw.

Now why can't Echo build something like that out of the box? A 70cc topend on the 600 series bottom end would be a killer.
What are your thoughts on the 800. Del the guy that ported my 590 has talked about wanting to grind on an 800. I may give him the opportunity if the tree service keeps dropping stuff like this off.590 looks like a toy sitting on that oak log.That's what I'm saying.. if only I had echo's r&d budget.
I love the 590-620 chassis. And the 670. The 670 is a little pudgy for 66.7cc altho they can be made to run. Figured I could blend the 2 saws and make a 73.8cc monster.

How much time is on that saw? 70-80 cc is my next purchase most likely a 79xx dolmar but I like how you took your own path on this one. The 800 was just a thought because del talked about playing with one.They are nice, But heavy for the cc. I believe they are a very tough durable saw. Will gain nice from porting. But don't think I would buy a new one.
I think this hybrid is the way to go.
About 12 cuts and 30 min idling. Not even a full tank.How much time is on that saw? 70-80 cc is my next purchase most likely a 79xx dolmar but I like how you took your own path on this one. The 800 was just a thought because del talked about playing with one.
The 7900 would probly stay stockish. Just need something to pull a 28-32" bar on rare occasions. You build some serious Echo's your 490s are downright mean little saws.About 12 cuts and 30 min idling. Not even a full tank.
I love the echo saws but I think a ported 7900 would beat a ported 800. And be a bit lighter too.
Now If you could pick up a cheap 800/8000 It would be worthwhile.
