Anyone ever compare the big bore 372 kits to a 365 top end ect. ? The 52mm seems to have same or bigger transfer sizes as the 48mm without the transfer restriction of the XPW. I'm no expert but it seems like the 52mm's can be made to run real good, possibly better than 51.4mm, other than questionable cylinder quality. My 52mm beat my 576xp pretty good and it's only got gasket delete and muffler mod.

roughly 20" oak, it was a while ago. 576 completely stock and autotune. 372 chain was kinda shot. 576 was smooooth but I like my 385 better, same weight and WAY more power. I'd like to mess with a non autotune 576 some time, try an unlimited coil and muff mod

I totally agree on the feel part , i dont get into what saws weigh but a 576 doesnt really "feel" any different than a 385/390 to me.

I would agree with that. I have done some work on a 575 and 576 non-AT for a local tree service and they feel heavy and less nimble than a 372 to me as well. They don't sound like they have as much attitude either, but when the chain hits the wood they cut deceivingly fast.

No doubt .. the few i ran were very torquey , id just "personally" pick a 390 since they dont feel any different.

I was gonna say something similar to that. To me they seem smooth, and fast, but also heavy, and they just seem to lack attitude!

Often the spring saws feel a lot different than the rubber mount saws, so it is good to have a vid to see the "real truth" in cut speed. I like a saw that feels snotty, but it can be deceiving.
