No, I'll try to watch it later. Internet here sucks for vids.did you watch the video I posted?
If you change two things at once you can't tell much about what made the difference. The only question is if the saw makes more power at the rpm you care about.That would be true if a saw chain was a static deal. the opposite is true though. You put a ported 660 with one of Brad's chains on it against a stock 660 with a chain that some old faller has been tweaking for years and the stock machine will move more wood. guys have chains dialed in so precisely that they have different grinds for different conifers.
Some people feel clever and superior to us simpletons by saying "torque, not HP, you fool! Or "hp gets the chicks, torque gets the checkered flag"
Torque without RPMs equals slow. Give me an 8' 2x4 and my ass can make more torque than any power-joked F350 on the road. But guess how many sled-pulls my ass has won.
Not piss-rev rpm, which can mean no torque. But rpms in the cut is the end-all-be-all. And yes, it's takes torque to keep your rpms up in the cut.
And wtf jmssaws...13k in the cut with a 346??? Daaaamn......
Torque at an rpm is the definition of horsepower, so you are attempting to make a distinction between two things that are the same. It's not that complicated - you want a ported saw to make more power at a lower rpm, which is fine if that's what you need. There have been dyno plots of ported saws here that show more power all across the rpm band and extending to higher rpms than the stock saw, so it is not necessarily an either/or choice.That's why I had a saw built for torque. It doesn't need to be peaky and high strung in order to hold rpm. I know what works for me, and cookie saws don't fill the prescription.
Chain makes a difference ported saw or not. It doesn't fit this discussion?

It is simple. The saw runs stronger from idle to a few hundred rpm higher than a stocker I'd guess.
Say, I wonder how much old growth Brad's, Randy's, Terry's, etc.. saws are cutting right now?
