I don't know if it's 'impressive', but I like it. I also have a 440 hybrid in the works.

Come on Clint, you can't put Redi Whip back in the can, we have heard you go on about your 7900, admit it, you think it is impressive! (and I don't dispute that it is).

Its strange here in Louisiana as its nothing but Stihl country. We have the one Dolmar dealer about 30 miles from me but no one uses them hardly. We had another south of me about 30 minutes but they went out of business. If u dont own Stihl here the rest will be Jonsered from TSC , No Husky dealer in sight. All loggers use Stihl but at one time tried Huskies but say the bottomends let go

Where is the most work needed on it? Id assume the transfers would need the least being a quad already? Maybe alil height on them?

Well we know the 390 is faster than a 661. Always good information evolves from these threads whether on topic or not. I have been thinkin though that a 390 could be loaded with say 404 chain to cut more like a 661 in its hp curve
Lower transfers on the 372. Lots of extra near there. 7900 doesn't need as much removed since its a tight case with long blowdown. Get too big and it gets lazy. On some I raise the exhaust 10 degrees or more.

So the 7900/7910 has the 440/460 hybrid effect already from the factory?

Saws arent used much for logging here. Shears, Processors, and pole saws. Not alota hills or mountains here that a shear wont handle
Saws aren't used much anywhere except the PNW now days.
I ran one for a brief period when I was logging, but it sat more than ran waiting for parts to come from Germany. That along with design issues with the early 7900's soured me on Dolmar.

Faster in 25" wood? Ported 661, 390xp, or 7900/7910?
Remember..ported 362 c-m..no saw is faster in wood 25" and under.
Ported 60cc saws run like stock 70cc saws .. and stock 90cc saws arent faster than 70cc saws in wood 25" and under...thats the word on the street.
