I'm personally not interested in running anything longer than a 36" bar. If I'm going to do that, I'm grabbing the 084. Rory, any idea how big the log is? 30"-34" would be ideal.
It won't register on my Fast Tach Tiny Tach.
We need some more of that big Bass wood
I should be purchasing a 3rd one here in a few days. It won't be ported until January though.
He can't get them. I've had him looking. I'm trying to find someone that can get me one. I've even sent a message to Stihl on FB. Any fellow Canadians that could help a brother out?

Mine didn't have the hoodie either. 
AFAIK, they are not available in the US.

Is the 660 ported?
Need to add the 390xp....it will probably be the winner.

OK I see a ported 660 on the list. I'm interested to see if the ported 661 will be over 8 HP.

Brad, so your going to use that Tsumura 32 I'm sending you and you have a husky mount 32 tsumura? IMO those would be the ideal bars for an apples to apples test.
someone mentioned using 8 pin - FWIW I didn't have much luck going from 7 to 8 pin even on a short 20" bar on my 660R.

Same bar. I'll use an adapter for the Husky saws.
Whenever we do this, what chain are we using? Gauge of the tsumura?

That is stock read off an older analog tach gauge. My digital goes nuts also.
It's .063 and is coming with a new RS chain.

Brad let me know if you need some more 32" Stihl RS - I can do $22 per loop for ya for the test. I can send in a Priority Regional A box for about $8 or maybe a padded priority envelope for $6...depending on # of chains you need for the test.
I would think the full comp RS would be best ...as I would guess it requires the most balls to pull

Just by feel there is 30% easy in my 661 stocker to be had. There isn't any "urgency" like my 441c has. The 661 just feels full of torque, smooth power that at WOT needs a big uncorcking!
The times and a nice dyno test should prove this. Stihl follows us on AS site and should be handing out hoodies for FREE to the guys doing all this work!
