I'm bucking up some Douglas fir myself 20" or so in diameter, I'll use the 041 for nostalgia, but when I'm ready to get the job done quickly I go with the 365, I like Stihl don't get me wrong, I find the husky just pulls that much harder, both 60 cc's and 150 PSI compression, same chain etc.....
I noticed the Stihl had the bigger engine, but slower time are they running different compressions and/or one revving higher?

i will stand behind my statements. and if you pay close attention to what i said, i never stated which saw i thought was superior, i simply stated that you cannot get an accurate idea of how strong the saw is with a little 32 inch bar with 3/8 chain in seasoned doug fir. a good test would be with either 36 or 42 inch bars running .404 chain. and yes my 044 will cut faster than either of those saws in that PARTICULAR wood that PARTICULAR size. if you cant understand that, its simply that youv never had real world experience with that particular wood, being seasoned
So tell us about the mods to this particular 044.

well thats the beauty. stock. brad im dissapointed, really i am, i should not have to explain this to you, but i guess i will. okay here it is if your cutting 6 inch wood, which will be faster a 026 with a 16 inch bar or a 066 with a 16 inch bar both running 7 tooth. if you can figure out the answer to that question you will understand why that video means nothign.

The reason that it quiet is because people can't be bothered.
Take it else where because your killing a good thread.

I know my 7900 is faster in 20" wood than my 066, both are stock though. Don't know if that would be true if it were modded
I've never cut any doug fir, whats the difference between it being green or seasoned?

difference is its A LOT easier to cut. and yes your 7900 is faster in 20 inch wood, but step up to 40 inch wood the 066 will be, thats my point the test is pointless, the wood was too small.

your pretty stupid ya know, i aint talking my saw up, but your talking like you got something up your ass, like maybe your thumb, and if your wondering why im calling you stupid, its because your little brain cant comprehend the point im making.

The 066... I'm dropping the rakers and putting a 9-pin on it and it will smoke your 026 all day long.
I get what your saying BB, but I trust Slingers results for no BS... maybe the 390 responds better to Slingers style of porting?? Could be a lot of different factors going into a modded saw comparison but here it is for the world to see as Jasha saw it. I'm cool with that.

im not backing one saw or another. im saying the test was no good with the size of bar, for the size of wood, and the TYPE of wood. anyone who has a prob with that can go #### themselves.
