How Much Power Does a Meteor Cylinder Really Make? | Stihl MS361 Clone Dyno Test

In this round of the aftermarket showdown, we bolt a Meteor piston and cylinder kit onto a Stihl MS361 clone (Holzfforma) and let the dyno tell the truth. We’ll take a deep dive into port timing, fit, finish, and every little number that makes saw builders argue at campfires.

This isn’t about selling parts—it’s about curiosity and horsepower. I've heard that Meteor has OEM-level quality, but the real question is: does it? You’ll see the results, the data, and a little redneck reasoning mixed in for good measure.

If you caught the Hyway kit test, you’ll know we’re doing a full series with kits from Wolf Creek Saw Shop, and the New West kit is up next. Each one gets the same fair shake—measured, tested, and dyno’d right here in the shop on the same saw.

Whether you’re a chainsaw builder, a firewood cutter, or just a horsepower junkie, this one’s worth watching to the end.

Stick around—more saw nerd content is on the way.

I’ve got a dyno, and I’ve spent a lot of time upgrading it. It’s homemade, the software’s custom, and it’s more comprehensive than anything you’d find on the market. Testing and modifying chainsaws is what I’m all about. FYI, I haven’t offered dyno or porting services, but depending on the circumstances, I might start taking some requests.
