Just got my 394xp from Brad, waiting for a 36" bar, 3/8 .058 chain combo to arrive from Ohio, bar was $80, chain $32 for Carlton semi chisel, what kind of performance increase do you think the 8 pin sprocket would make? According to the IPL 7 pin is all that the 394 came with?

Go with a 32" 3/8 with an 8 tooth. A 394 is pretty much the same class as a 066/660. The 3/8 vs .404 chain breaking myth has always baffled me, I have been running 3/8 for 15 years.
Like Brad said use good gas, your highest octane pump gas will work just fine. I build and run high compression saws all the time and have never had any issues with saws over 200psi with just 50:1 mixed 91 octane.
Good find BTW, I am getting ready to build a 395 for a guy right now. May have to put it up against my 390 when done.

Yeah I thought you were hoppin up a 395.

I think my new 395 came today, there was a UPS box in the hallway this afternoon when I left for work...

Sweet, nice saws!

Lots of fun to be had!

The chain speed will increase approximately 10%. Give the saw is pushing some serious psi. wou will notice the increased performance with faster cutting times.

Pay attention to raker (depth gauge) measurements!

I am headed for the shop, I will send you the exact measurement later today.

 

[Mad Professor]

With 210 psi might be time to get some AV gas.

 

[leeha]

Great saws, You did very well.
I had seen the same ad but can't
remember where. 210 psi is high watch
what you use for fuel. That thing should
Rip.
Good luck, Lets see a video.

Av gas for sure its all I use, or a 50/50 combination of "sports mix" (3/4 AV LL 100 and 1/4 tolulene) and premium the saws love it and were only talking a couple gallons so worth every penny, must cost like 1 cent per minute used more my saws are worth it.
