I was going to say Chad you might as well spend your time building Dynos. There is no way you are going to be able to test everything that is being proposed from just this one thread. I think the whole concept is just fantastic, but there are so many scenarios that you will be run ragged. (and your wife will take the kids and leave) ; )
 
Im running .325 on my 261cm as that is what it came with but was going to swap it over to 3/8 for simplicity among the saws. Now that it's ported I think it will handle it well. Of course Maximum bar length on a 50cc saw is going to be 18''. I usually run 16 but I have a 16 on the 241cm.

I don't have big wood. Did I just say that ???
Seriously, I don't like a nose heavy saw, so I have my ported 261 set up with 3/8 X 18 ES bar. Balances just right. Now, if I Had big wood.... Well, that's a different story. :clap:
 
Steven, all of your saws are done........I do need to put some fuel thru them now before I call em good though.


My heart cath got postponed til this coming Wed so I will come up following that. I did receive my new 262xp from Clint Cgrahm1 and "my oh my" pictures dont do this saw justice. The absolute "crown jewel" of my collection now. I cannot believe the condition this saw is in- Hell the 241cm, 261cm, 2153, 2171, 2188, 395 and 3120 are all brand new and they dont look as "Minty" as this saw. (I havent even bought a bar or fueled the 3120xp)
 


Here's how I roll Duane: Some of these combos aint perfect as that is what came with the saw and I havent taken the time to change them. But I believe once "ported" that the perfect ratio is 3cc to 1'' of bar. They can all do more than that but I dont have a shortage of choices.
241cm- 16''
2153- 16" 3/8 (and this particular saw is the king of the 50cc saw shootout)
261cm- 18'' .325
254xp- 18''
262xp- 18-20''
272xp- 18''
2171- 20''
064- 24"
288xp- 24''
2188- 24''
395xp- 20'' 28' 32'' (currently sporting a 20'' Sugi
3120xp- probably go for a 42 Cannon (this saw will be strictly for milling)
