395XP vs MS661 - all stock - 36" bar 404 RS chain

[Redbull661]

I was down helping do more clean up at @tree monkey 's ...turns out he he got a 395xp in to port. So figured I'd run it stock vs my stock 661... Cuz I gotta test something! I can't just go cut wood ya know!

7 pin .404 36" RS. same gas. same bar oil. same chain. tree monkey checked the tune on the 395. 661 is broke in. 395...his customer said it was a runner. cuts done with in minutes of each other.

661 - 51.7 , 51.4
395 - 54.8 53.4

i expected the 395 to win. but i expected the 661 to be closer than most would think. Didn't expect the 661 to win. Can't wait til tree monkey is done with both of them to see ported vs ported. I expect the 395 to win the ported battle.

This is gonna be interesting.

I bet the 661 still wins after they get ported

I think it will matter on the size of the bar and type of wood. It will be close.

Havta take off the women's clothes and run 404 with an 8 tooth in the ssme wood

Didn't the fastest 394 pretty much match the 661 and unicorn saw at ct gtg for times in that knarly log? Stock a 394 runs better than the stock 395 generally. Ported I'm not sure I don't have that experience.

So a Stock 661 which handles sweet beats out a 395 which has the handling characteristics of an oil barge...

say it aint so ...
what will the "H" boys come up with as a justification of this proclamation !!!!!

im goin with the atmospheric truncation that caused the tornado in the first place clearly left some sort of anomaly.

Global warming... it's always the go to

Please excuse my stupudity, but do these saws have same size piston and jug?

the oil barge is slightly larger....like 4cc. ( but the AV handling makes up for that )

look at all the Scientists that believe in that....educated by "social scientists" ....ugh

 

[T.Roller]

I'd put an 8 on them and do it again

8 pin 404 is close to the same size as a 9 pin 3/8 ?

Well the 395 is a design that has a crank from a 281xp and basic design dating back to early 90's so no excuses. I personally think that black 661 that Julian had at ct gtg is one of the most badass saws I've seen out there. Just kool looking. I don't discriminate saws as long as there fast lol.

56mm bore 38mm stroke 395. 56mm bore 37mm stroke 661. I believe the porting is completely different between two. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
