I tend to agree. Most saw for the dollar and it doesnt take much to unclog them.
So is EFI Live providing tuning for them then?

I'm back from the wedding, and yea, Kieth needs some help here.
Was told the 562 would destroy my 362 C-M in cut speed ... brought it to a GTG ... didn't happen.
Brought my unported 044 to GTG, looking for an unported 372 to play, no one came (twice).
I'll be looking forward to seeing how my ported 046 compares to similar saws at the next GTG.
Already saw the ported Smittybilt 660s and 460 at GTG, didn't see any super Husky's taking them on. And I believe that Randy has stated that his 441s are pretty competitive with most other saws that size, but I could be wrong.
Do I think the "Animal Huskys" don't exist, NO. But Animal Stihls exist also. Stating that one brand is faster than the other is getting childish.
I agree the durability issue is a non factor for most of us, both brands will give you years of reliable service. And I think the speed issue is so close that it will vary from saw to saw as much as from one brand to the other. In fact, a Husky guy told me a ported 460 was the fastest saw in it's class in a NY competition not long ago, so how can that be if these Huskys are all so much faster?
I have all Stihls because I like being able to use any B/C on any of my saws, and I dont's see any big advantage in switching brands. For example, as often as I see someone say a 550 is faster, I see someone else say a 261 has more torque, and it also happens to be one of the favorite saws of a guy who is imploring you to switch!
I'm not bashing Husky's, I think they are just as good as Stihls, but this arm twisting telling someone he has to get one because they are faster is, I think, ridiculous! If he chooses to get one for other reasons, that is fine, but this is nonsense, IMO.

Yea but I'm sure it was dead really hard pine.
Mike that was probably your fast chain that made the difference on the 362..i dont want keith to switch , i dont think that was anyones motive ..im not a big GTG guy..its trivial at best to me..cool for racin and stopwatch stuff and maybe get to run some different models you never did before..but i always get to play chainsaws so its no big deal to me , im always pullin the trigger on different saws , but im a novice still..im learning

The parts that were not rotted were very hard
So Mike, have you run a strong ported NE 346, OE 372, or 390? No one said Stihls weren't strong or that they're not good. No one said Huskies are "so much" faster. No one said Stihl never wins. No one said you should switch brands. Why so defensive?

There are great saws in all brands........but.....
Treemonkey 064s are incredibly fast.
Smittybuilt 066s with 056 MagII top ends are bad ass saws.
Komatsuvarna 372XPs are like really WOW.
Wigglesworth 365XPs are some of the fastest 4 cubes I've seen.
Snellerized 044/046 Hybrids are really, really good runners.
Etc.......Etc.......Etc.....
I'm gonna go play a few games of chess now.
