Does anyone know if there is a performance difference between a PP335 and a PP336?

I believe the 336 has the same 54cc cylinder as a 3450

 That is confusing for sure.

I didn't pull the cylinders but both my 335 and 336 appear to have the 530012367 cylinder with the pulse nipple being in the saw case.

I used a endoscope to have a look inside the cylinder at the transfers on both and they appear to be like the 530012367 cylinder.

The case is wider on the 336 in the muffler area to accommodate the larger muffler.

The 336 does have two thin rings. The 335 has two thin rings as well.

I guess I answered my performance question

Thanks for the input.

I'm guessing the confusion comes in from the 335 IPL that uses a 530012197 cylinder and a 530010989 piston where the later ones (Predator) comes in with the 336 530012367 cylinder and 530069547 piston.
