It would need a dual port muffler (for those who don't know 442 stands for 4 barrel, 4 speed dual exhaust). It is what you needed to be a performance car back in the day!

You are right. I really NEED to learn how to properly use my equipment, or I might hurt myself or something silly. I have NO clue what I'm doing. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Oh, and for the record, the high stump in the foreground isn't mine...
Cool, so you have a need for a large saw. That's great. I'm a wildland hazard faller guy-I don't care what the stump looks like as long as I put it on the ground where I want it safely.. But do you really need a 70 cc saw when you have two that already do the same thing? No. So why blow an extra $1300 on something you don't use to make a living when you could just go out with a 362 and 661 and get what you need done. I just can't grasp the "I need every chainsaw in the world" philosophy when I've always done everything I've needed with one.
I respectfully disagree, a 70 cc saw is a big step up in power from a 60 cc, and a lot lighter than a 90. IMO, they are often the most useful size you can have.
There is no best size chainsaw , i think alot of people have the small pecker syndrome when it comes to size selection , i along with most people could cut my firewood with a saw 60cc or smaller , Guys leave here thinkin they need a ported 70cc saw to cut a 15 or 20" log into firewood lengths..of you want one because you want one thats fine , but its totally overkill for a majority of users..and the benefit is hardly there to carry the extra weight ( To those who care ) to cut an average sized east coast log into firewood.
Fact.
Fact.
I agree that what you need (or should have) depends on you and what you generally cut, and a non ported 044 will work pretty darn good also.
That said, I think a guy that already has a 362 and a 661 has a pretty good idea if a saw in between the two would be useful to him.
I don't tell other people what they should or should not have, that is an individual decision.

Its a big step with bigger bars in bigger wood mike , you wont cut an average sized 20" log into firewood lengths in a measurably faster time with a 70cc over a 60cc saw , if the dude wants a 70cc saw thats cool , but its not necessary.

Ported 120cc is 24" range in europe
I think if a guy is gonna buy a 290 for firewood i agree he may as well buy a 044/440 they feel damn near the same weight.
Some of the landscapers around me pull a single with a mower/blower/trimmer with a 1 ton dually diesel..some pull the same thing with a 1/2 ton..i guess its all what your into and how people perceive things.

You are such a dumb-ass that I didn't even bother reading u'r poasts. If I had read them, I probably would have been made stupider.

I agree. And if you consider the good 60cc saws against the good lightweight 70cc saws, you're not saving enough weight to give up the noticeable gain in power. But then again, I'm a critic of 60cc saws, so do what feels good.

I'm not sure that's possible is it?

My question is this. Is it even possible to actually cut wood w/o a chainsaw that hasn't been ported? 
I've heard of guys doing it with a stock as a rock saw, and for the life of me, that seems crazy.

Well, you can do it, but it is not quite as fast as using a 2 man saw!

That's what I had thought prior to reading his stupid poasts!I'm not sure that's possible is it?
