Stupid Sprocket Question...

[BloodOnTheIce]

What is the performance difference between 7,8, and 9 tooth drive sprockets.
My 044 came with a 8 tooth, I have a both a new 7 and 8 tooth sitting on the shelf at the shop and I'll be running a 20" bar on the saw.

the 7 tooth will give the most power and least chain speed the 8tooth wil give more chain speed and less power the 9 toothe wil give the most chain speed but least power. I would use a 7 toth on that saw. just my opinon though you might be able to run 8 tooth also . Id say the 7 will give best results.
