best power to weight ratio

[Tnshaker]

Not going off any mathematical calculation......just going my feel and opinion.... what saw do u think has the best power to weight ratio? My vote is the 461 right now. What do u think?

 

[Mastermind]

Stock or Mooberized?

 

[Tnshaker]

Both! Interested to hear your opinion on both randy.

I have ran almost every ported saw with the exception of the 461....I have ran a stock one for a few tanks.

You ran mine at the western ky gtg didn't you ??

For torque my Mastermind 660 gets through hard gum beautifully with a 36" and quicker than an 088 with a 30". If I remember correctly from the last time I looked, 660 has the best power to weight figure in the Stihl catalogue.

I haven't tried one of these out yet, but I've got a nice ms460 jug that I've been debating on putting on one of my 044's. not to derail the thread, but has anyone ran one without it being ported?

my ported 036, feels like a 50, cuts like a 70.

 

[cheeves]

262 and my 79cc Dolkita!

 

[HD2010]

I like the feel of my ported 261 with and 18" b/c for general use. The ported 066 with a 25" b/c for the bigger stuff.

 

[nmurph]

For stock saws, and using real weights and factory HP specs, the 7900 is tops with the 262 close behind.

 

[ash man]

i think I own 2 good candidates. wicked work saw 2260 and a stock 7900.

If you're asking what saw feels a lot more powerful than what it is, then I'd go for ported 346xp. Reminds me of a jack russel terrier sheep dog i once saw. had to launch itself 2 feet up in the air to get at the sheep, but that dog thought it was 4 feet tall and soon convinced the sheep it was. That saw is becoming more and more my every day saw.

My vote for 660 - stock

 

[Mastermind]

Brad must have the 044/046 thing really figured out.......I'm not quite as impressed by it, at least not in big wood.

Ported saws........the 7900/7910, or the 385/390XP is probably the strongest per pound.

Stock? 346XP, or 562XP.
