In speed they all felt much the same and i think the times will show that,a second here or there.
This is the way i look at it from a work saw point of view,for me cooky cutting doesn't tell me a real lot,but then it is interesting and proof is in the vids.
What i wont form work is (work for me is blocking green Sugergums for 5 or 6 hrs straight only stopping for fuel oil,or felling all day) improved performance over a stock saw,useability,longevity,productivity.
For this the ported 441RCs win hands down with there AV,less fuel and fumes,better filter system they just get the job done in the easiest way possible.
I remember lugging around a 660 one day with a 25'' bar on it felling larger Sugergums until my hands and for arms wouldn't work any longer,that's when i started looking for a better way.
But if i have a bigger dry bit of Redgum,Yellowbox the ported 461R even with a 28'' bar has the torque to just plow on through.
I will do some more vids one day will a 25'' bar on them all in some larger dry Cypress and see where we are in that.

I'm dumb, I like pitchers and video.:msp_wink: I'd honestly like to see how they do in bigger wood, I'm not yet sold on advancing the timing when it comes to torque, but than again Stihl's seem to be a little retarded to begin with.:msp_wink:

Clever
But the thing is with the 461 if you dont wont the limited coil that self advances the timing and you put a un limited coil in it makes sence to advance the timing at least back to the stock coil advance.
Cricky try saying that fast.
