I'll take torque over revs for sure, for a work saw, especially in larger wood. Higher revs do add to the picture, though. Interesting to read that the three degrees in exhaust duration increase didn't alter the rpms, but that's a pretty minimal increase, I believe. Modding an 036 gave...

Truth in what Al says. Still, I use a tach to see where the rpms are at, as I'm curious about the gains, and knowing where the stock numbers are, gives me a good reference point, and seems to further my understanding a bit for when approaching future mods. Lightening the piston isn't just...

Have never weighed a lightened piston, myself, other than feeling it in my hand, and looking at the aluminum dust on the floor. Prefer to let the rpms do the talking.
