Normal load
  1. 7901 by a wide margin
  2. 390 by a few hundredths
  3. 660 almost identical to 390


Max load
  1. 7901
  2. 660 by a considerable amount less than the 390
  3. 390

What you can't see is that the 660 feels considerably stronger in the cut under max load than what the times suggest.

Nice work Brad, I'd be interested to see that same test run again with 8-pin rims on'em. To late or can it be done???

(yes I know to late at night now, I meant if you haven't torn them down already.... I know how your OCD works. :laugh:)

That was a nice video. I can't wait for the moded video. I was surprised by the showing of the Makita maybe that will be next on the shopping list.

One moment, please. If I understand the original post, these comparisons are a ported 7901 against a stock 660 and stock 390. Correct? If so, the results are about what one would expect.

I'm interested to see how they'll do against each other when all are ported.

If my assumption that the 7901 is ported and the other saws are stock at the point of this post is incorrect, please correct me. I read the first few posts when they were mounted with great interest but am unwilling to dogpaddle through the detritus of what came after.

Definitely eager to see the vid of them going head to head after they're all ported. Frankly, considering the balderdash typical of this type of speculative thread, I'd be VERY happy to see the final comparison vids posted IN A NEW THREAD so enquiring minds don't have to filter the shytestorm to get to the diamonds.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong about the mods/stock, but this thread should not have been started until all the mods were done and the saw vids produced. With the final results not done, this thread is nothing more than masturbation. In other words, shut up until you got something definitive to say.

I'm just saying.

Thanks!

That was outlined in the first post:greenchainsaw: The 7901 was done before this idea was ever hatched. So now we're comparing a favorite 80cc class saw to a couple 90cc clas saws, first stock, and then ported.

You should'nt of told him so he would have to read, read and yes read.

I read the first bunch of posts. So my understanding of the situation is correct. What went on between the first posts and these last posts is moot. Masturbation. Circle jerk.

Since the 7901 had already been ported, I don't care darn giggly about how it compares with the other stock saws. I care how it compares with the other saws once they've been ported.

I hope a new thread will be started when those ports/vids are available. Until then, it's just one saw ho yakking at another saw ho. Ho needs that? :D :D
