How about my 7900.

Well a made some cookies with my 7900. It's the same wood, and the same B&C that I used on my 372.

7900

How does it compare to your 372?

Cool!!

So who's got the times on the 372 and then on this one?

Looks sweet man. What chain is that??

LOL It's a good practice race chain.

Nice, I need to learn how to sharpen a faster chain. I'd like to have a few square chains for fun.

It's a little bit more than just a square chain.

I came up with 2.56 for the 7900 and 2.37 for the 272, very close. The log was getting a bit smaller when I made the cuts with the 7900. The 7900 appears to be more forgiving, as my times were more consistent with the 7900.

Ya I figured so. I meant square would be a good start for me.

That 7900 is tuned to perfection.

Sounds gnarly.

Andy, is that a limiter I hear?

It sure is. A modded saw will almost always turn more rpm's than a stock saw, so yes it's hitting the limiter. From what I've been told a modded 7900 without a rev limited coil can turn something like 16,000 rpm.

I'd like to tune a limited saw sometime... Wouldn't you want to tune in the wood? Go rich side--back to lean side (stop when you hear the saw underpowered in either direction), and pick the best spot in the middle?

That's exactly how I tune my 7900's, It's one of the best ways to tune most any saw.

I thought the 7900 was a little faster but it is very hard to tell. The 372 sounds meaner, kind of like a cornered mountain lion. Thanks for the vids, nice to see two modded saws compared. Now how about those same saws compared in stock version? I have a 7900 to offer, anyone with a bone stock 372 near Rhode Island?

The 372 is the faster saw, however I find the 7900 a bit easier to run + the wood was getting smaller as I worked my way down the log. The 372 also had more to give as far as tuning goes.

Both are saws I would be proud to own!!!
