The cs400 is a good saw but I don't think it will run with the 024s.How does the echo 400 stack up to the 024? I had an 024 super I really liked.

Depending on the bar size, sprocket size and wood diameter/density, the 272 may cut faster than the 288 in "average" firewood. But the 288 won't slow down as soon or as much, apples to apples.
How do you feel about your 9010? I have been trying to decide/find one to add to my collection.Do you know how it compares to a 390 or 660 ? It's just one of those Itch's that I gotta scratch...NO, that's a ported 9010, 056, 076 or 084...
Here is a guy that likes chain speed. Look at his line up. He backs them up with a long bar all day long saw. Nice lineup for firewood cutting. He needs the stump saw to imo.Out of 8 work saws, 4 are ported (9010, 372xp, 262xp, 346xp), 3 are muffler modded (562xp, 550xp, MS261) and 1 is bone stock (MS201T). The 562 and 550 will see grinders is due time. The 201 will get the low buck "wake-up" done (timing, exhaust, re-tune) and the 261 we'll see as my little brother will eventually inherit it and isn't the most experienced with a saw, let alone a ported version.... I will end up with two more in either a ported 390xp or 395xp and an older 100cc+ monster and then I'll likely be done.
Could I live with stock saws, yes. Would it be nearly as entertaining and fun as ported ones? NO! I like the additional throttle response and chain speed of the modded versions, though the best mod for any saw is a clean air filter and a sharp chain.
Yup. One will be going to TN in that exact trim and one ported with no machine work same trim. My 361S might be done. The saw Stihl should have built by did not.Stihl ms361 is tough to beat good anti vibe has quad transfers a muffler mod a base delete and a little timing advance very strong runner.
