Some of the fastest chains ive ever ran didnt necessarily throw the biggest "chips" .. food for thought.

Too big of chips clog the kerf.

I never pay attention to chips but in that sappy crap you can kill a big saw because it can't get rid of the chips.
The off the roll lgx is better in it than a more aggressive chain,I guess it don't have to move as much wood.

Yep

I'm not a chain guy though,I've never measured the height of a raker in my life.
I just take a lick or 2 off now and then

Isn't that where skip and semi-skip come into play? Move and clear out chips.

I was gonna say 60 and 80 too, but I think Dolly has that market

Unported, the 70 cc Stihls are very tough to beat, but the Huskies respond very well to porting.

However, the ported Stihl Hybrids, and I got one in process, are also very tough to beat on a power to weight basis.

They all have good ones, just depends on what you are looking for, and that is what makes the GTGs so much fun.

The Dr Al ported 026/260 and 036/360 are also very impressive for their size, as are many of the 50 & 60 cc Huskies.
