Frank, you say some silly things.
"Once you start cutting with the nose you throw in other variables."
You can get bars longer than 9 inches you know. An 026 comes with an 18" bar normally.
"Mike you have never used a competition chain either or you wouldnt be suggesting Oak.
No, I haven't. What happens in Oak? I would'nt use a race chain in the woods anyways, they break too easy, and if you dull them, it takes too much work to fix. We are talking about moding work saws, right?
"Mike are you suggesting putting the 026 on 30 inch wood?"
You are the one who was comparing an 066 to an 026!
"What I took issue with originally was you telling someone that motor modification would only yield 10% gain in power."
I said if the muffler was already modified, that power porting would add another 10% or so.
Power porting and muffler together would be much higher, on a newer stock saw.
This is where the issue becomes clouded. You say motor modification, I say power porting, two completely different things. Motor modification could mean a lot of things not included in a $250 power porting. And where the guys selling the porting get quite a bit of the power gain is from opening up the newer, restrictive mufflers.
