    OK, whats the REAL difference.....

    Between 3/8 and 3/8 picco or Low Pro?

    Is there a measureable difference in pitch? Cutter height and width?

    Get a piece of each and check it out

    Are you asking for dimensionsal difference performance or what?
    Smaller (shorter/less tall) pitch .365(pico)versus .375(3/8) less mass and less aggressive for smaller saws.

    How about a 5/32 cutter for 3/8 LP or picco and a 7/32 cutter for 3/8. Plus the spacing on the drive links, .365 and .375.

    Both are actually the same pitch, .367 if memory serves.
    The .365 thing is something Carlton or Baileys made up to distinguish them....

    The difference is cutter hight, cutter width, and the thickness of the tie straps. Lo pro/picco cut a narrower kerf, has less ability to transport chips, and are weaker.

    You are correct, I just measured the 2 chains and they were the same distance between drive links.
    Must just be a optical illusion playing on my mind.

    I just looked in the 066 parts manual, it list part #1122 640 2002
    for 3/8T sprocket, part #1122 640 2006 for 3/8 PICCO 7T sprocket
    So I would say they must be different, (I guess)

    Nope... The bar tip is different as is the sprocket.
