The 355t comes with a large nose bar like a 201t, which I like, but it and the chain are of the same quality as what comes with the 2511t. The 355 has enough power, weight, and spring rigidity to not jump and chatter in the cut like the 2511 on .050.

I haven't modded many 355's, so i cant comment much. Their design doesn't leave a lot of room for improvement, and that's not saying that they are that good to start with. Redesigning the air filter box with an aftermarket kit would probably help a lot.

I can understand the easier starting since the 201t randomly acts like it has super high compression and often takes almost 10-20 pulls to cold start. Also, Echo engines tend to have better torque due to the port timing, but peak power suffers for the same reason.

I have heard and experienced that they sometimes need an odd tune to run well. On the rich side if I remember correctly.

You most likely will need a custom loop made as Echo often takes a different DL count than Stihl. A Stihl bar would need oil and tensioner holes modified/redrilled to fit Echo. I consider Echo bars junk compared to Stihl. I'd try to mod a Stihl .043 bar to fit.

I've made them a lot better since then, that was the first I did some tinkering with, but yes "Little porting, muffler mod and tune" They are the best bang for the buck if you keep an eye out on ebay for discounted new ones, or dealer day discounts. Echos tend to be easy to work on, but have...
