The dyno tells the real story, there are some shocking differences between brands. As one example, in the small saw category, 50cc ish, the top 2 brands of like 8 brands tested had a 12% difference in power. Who knew?

Bought a new Echo CS4910 and sent to him for a full port job. Supposed to be here tomorrow but won't be able to test it until later in the week.
