Fastest chainsaws in each class?

100+ I had a tightened squish 166 that was run in stock saws class up in Canada and had 190psi. It was no where near my stock 084 I rebuilt.
I wouldnt put a 166 in no speed cutting test. My unlimited coil stock 3120 would hurt it too.

Stock 70cc. My 70.7cc poulan out cut a 372 OE and 440 DP cover and opened back half. All using same chain for test cuts. 440 was 2nd and 372 was 3rd.

2 cuts 14" firm solid fresh take down ash.

372 11.87 11.91 stock no muffler mods screen pulled.

440 10.94 10.93 stock with muffler mod, DP muffler cover with enlarged side exit hole too.

445 10.13 10.44 stock no muffler mods and still had spark screen installed.

50cc - 346 or 550. Or 026. The 261 is definitely too heavy and bulky for this class. Ported, I'll go for a 346 of course.
60cc - Husky 560XP, but it's not available in the USA, so I'll choose the JRed 2260 or the 562XP. Or a good old 262XP. Ported, I'll go for a 359.
70cc+ - Dolly 7900/Solo 681, and if not available, Stihl 461. Or a OE 372XP. Same answer with ported saws.
Over 80cc, I say MS661 or 390. But if you already have a 7900 or a 681, I'll choose a 395XP (still stronger than the 661 and 390 with a 36" bar and longer). Ported, I'll go for a 390, because this looks like a fun saw to run.
10cc+ - Stihl 090! But more seriously, the 880 is probably the best choice, but a ported one, of course.

10cc ? I liked the band but not so sure i would like a 10cc saw all that much!

Who wants a fast saw anyway?

Your 166 either had an issue or your 084 is much stronger than a 088 or 880. I had four 166's and an 088 & 880 and all of the 166's were stronger and smoother running than either the 088 or 880. Not by a ton, but noticeably. All were stock at the time. The 088 had it on the 880, but slightly. The 880 & 088 got ported and the 166's went to some guy on the east coast, goes by the reference, "Uncle Lee".

Sounds like you want a geardrive, maybe 3:1 or so? I got it, how about the 346G .

But I didn't say I wanted slow either.

I like it. I'll even donate a 32" 3/8 050 K095 for the video.

Never owned a 088 880 but would say my 084 would be stronger then them. Nothing wrong with the 166 trust me. I even raced a alky nitro 166. The gas one was my practice saw.

Is that your sling shot in your avatar?

That was a AA/FA I had about 15 years ago.

nice I like those front engine dragsters a lot. They are just flat out sexy.

Nothing like sitting 6 inches above the 8 3/4 dodge rear end gears if they decide to let go .

C'mon Brian, you know they are all using 9" Ford!

This was a funny car chassis converted to roadster, however I did have an old slingshot in the 80's that had the 8 & 3/4" in it. When you sit in one you have to want to get through the lights as fast as possible and more than anything else. If you think of what could happen, you don't belong in that car period. Different mindset than most.
