wooooo wee! sorry for the delay! yes the 510/520 is a good saw. and with a proper muffler mod they do really wake up quite a bit.
i've owned a few of these and they all went off to new homes after a "customer" ran it after thinking of buying a new stihl or a box store junker.

I know what you mean there. Lot of idiots out there that dont know any better. 

Case in point. I have a like new rebuilt 1998 husky 55 with new top end rebuild 46mm open port.  Runs great IMHO. I was running 16" 3/8. Guy wanted 20" 325 so I went 7T, I put a like new oregon bar and like new chain on it for $200. Guy balked no way man I can buy a new 455 for $399 at lowes why would I pay $200 for a 14 year old saw.  LMAO I was like go buy the 455 saw at lowes. I will keep the 55 nuff said.
 He was like I will buy the 455 and race you with the 55. Now I started laughing. I was like bring it any day 55 against IF you buy the 455. Matter fact I will race for pinks I told the wife laughing. WOW these young guys now days just dont have a clue.
Heck I might even break out the 45cc 346 and race him if it likes, wonder if he mind if we cold started raced too.

Dang I'd like to race that guy for beer money.  He can run his brand spankin' new 455 and I'll run my 1984 production 154SE.
