Horse power determines how fast you hit the wall. Torque determines how far you drag the wall after you hit it.
Those torque numbers look close enough to me, to say no one is going to notice the difference in "the real world". What are the numbers that people really care about .... $$/hp and $$/ft-lb?

About 13% tq and 20% hp difference from top to bottom.
Believe all of these are 11-1300$ new so that will be close as well.
Just finished my 288, build with dual port muffler
and just sold a really clean 394, for 525,00 Pete

I like the 288 Xp I have one somewhere.
HP/lb.
That is hard to tell..
Is one brand of chain better suited to 7hp saws or 5hp saws? So many things come into account once they hit the wood.

I think it’s cost first$$$$? Next to me it’s time. Big bore ph cut quicker. Weight isn’t a factor to me I didn’t post for a sports illustrated picture I kept the saw in the wood. Time is money,
When I was starting out I wanted the biggest cc/ horse powered saw I could get that’s the 2100/99cc husky. I took a loan out to buy it. The misses was upset but when the money started rolling in the tune changes.

Big ph like the 100 cc saws can cut with a dull chain. My way of sharpening is different, get the gullet.
that's a cheap 394
A friend asked me to post it,didn;t know what it was worth .
Tons of calls and brake band was broken. 20,00 bucks at the dealer

Husky saws have always had better port layouts and made more torque with a broader power curve. Not suprised.
I don't care whos name is on the cover, I will use it. With that said, Husky has ALWAYS outcut stihl, cc vs cc. In ordfer to get a stihl to cut with a husky you basically have to go up 2 sizes. A 390xp WILL outcut an MS660. A 372 or 576 WILL outcut a 460/461. These opinions are my own, but I have formed them actually in the woods using these saws side by side. I refuse to carry the extra weight of a stihl around in these hills. Again, with all that said, a stihl will outlast a husky longevity wise. But, if a husky lasts me say 2 years and a stihl lasts me 4, Im still buying the husky because of the weight savings alone.

Great video, thanks for sharing. Surprised they have a dyno setup and no other videos yet!
Working on more videos daily almost.
Spent the last 5 years doing forums/Facebook. Just getting rolling with the video stuff.

Oh, didn't realize you are the video creator. Well done, I liked your editing. Looking forward to more content from you!
cool set up what software are you using and what is the brake media. Are you pumping hyd. fluid and restricting the flow or water. I see what looks like you load cell at the end of the bar area...Nice graphs
