KG, I have not been quiet, you just have not been looking in the right places. For the record, when I first broke the 362 C-M in, I thought it ran close to as good as my bone stock 044. Then I added a dual port muffler and K&N filter to the 044 and it is on a whole different level. (also moved the hi & low screws 1/8 turn out).
The 362 is lighter, smooth and cuts well, but it does not have the torque of the 044. For wood 15" or less I prefer the 362, for wood over 20" I prefer the 044. For in between, flip a coin.
Sorry if I built your expectations too high Randy, lets see what you can do with this thing.
(KG, aren't you glad he is not working on your camera?).
