Hopefully it won't interfere with any week long church functions

Vertical cants??
That sounds gross. What are you refering to Mr. "My Mind Is In The Gutter"?!

i'm pretty sure a 55 coil will work......or so someone who has done a few told me a couple of years ago.
Same here Brad, the 460 is my favorite saw.
It was the first saw that I buried into hardwood and thought - wow, I am really pleased with the power it produces.
Thanks for the vids. 
Those times are so close that I would like to have seen 2-3 cuts per saw to help eliminate differences caused by the operator. If you average them, the 7900 may have been faster.

I've got a 460 stock and one of these days I'm going to find a 7900 to try out. Scott

I've yet to figure out why you guys cut cookies,I burn firewood and it would'nt take any more gas and bar oil to cut a round off the same log LOL. Scott

Made a few cuts, and the videos posted were a pretty good representation of the best each saw could do. 460 just was a nose ahead of the 7900 more times than the other way around. But close enough One could easly be made to appear faster than the other through the slightest change in cutting or tuning.
I'll see what I can do for some bigger wood, been a little hard to get back to the bush lot the last bit. Too much snow to trailer, but to little to drag it out on with a sled.

hey tw,
thanks for the vid.
i have always wondered how a 460 and a 7900 would compare stock.
i am curious... were both saws running the same sprocket? 7 or 8 tooth?
also,
i like that they are all running the same stihl bar!
looking forward to the progression of this thread!
edit:
btw, i ran my personal 7900 run against a good 066 in 18-20" red oak at a gtg and they were dead even.
would you say it was because of the size of the wood, and that the 066 would maybe start to pull ahead in larger wood?
edit2:
here's a vid i took of my 7900 in roughly 14" x 14" frozen white oak running an 8 tooth.
