Next time you have that jug off, I'd love to see some more pics of the port work.
The 661 does feel like a much smaller saw than the 660.
I changed that a while ago. The hyd needle valve is now mounted to the pump and there's no pressure in the flexible hoses to straighten them out. Ill get some more run time and video's of the dyno. Enough already. Sorry to hack your thread man.If you could find some way to eliminate the hoses and fittings to be sure they weren't causing deflection I would trust it's readings more. The way it's set up though, having to twist the hoses makes me wonder.
NopeSo did you see a dual port muffler in the ipl?
I really ain't that sold on the ported 661.......I really ain't that sold on the dyno.....
still single port on the muffler ?

Yep, still a single port. When the muffler Chad is sending gets here I'll try some different stuff with that.
Well at this point, that makes two of us.

I've thought about this saw all afternoon....

I've been thinking also. Stihl has done there homework. The tight crankcase, quad port transfers, open muffler and the piston stuffer make it a bad azz saw without much left to squeeze out.
I think treeslinger said a while back madsons got 1 more hp out of a 661 in another 661 thread,i think randy can beat that # when all said and done
