No problem :hmm3grin2orange: just having fun. I know how the 361 and 441 guys get offended fast, so I threw a log on the fire. :cheers:

Hahaha, I hear ya. I wasn't offended at all but that poor guy selling his saw probly wanted to bury a size 12 in ya,:jawdrop: :ices_rofl: :ices_rofl:
 
I would say nope. running pump gas and a work chain like I used at the gtg mine would never turn that kind of time. I dont think it has got below a even 4 sec in 8x8 poplar yet either.
So what was the wood type and size? and appears to be a GOOD chain making them cuts. I know the cold start 361 alkys are in the 6-7.5 sec 3 cut times.
So how did that 361 run at the races last year? and how does it compare to the 357 you just had built for racing? I am just so twisted on what to do with this extra 361 setting here with extra cyl,crank, etc and dont know which way to go with it all. Like I said may leave it alone, this one runs so darn good stock. pm me if you need Art for the full stories.

The 361 is a woods port and runs pump gas. 91 octane, Stihl oil at 32:1. It was the fastest saw in the 0-60, 0-70, 0-100 woods port class last year. Wood in the video was 8x8 pine and chain was one of my work chains. What do you run your 361 at? I work mine at 14,500 and race it at close to 16,000. My 357 would make that cut in about the 1.8-2.0 sec range. It is quicker than my 088 was.
 
Only cut a few pines with it and thats it. If you haven't scratched it up and don't have sap all over it and it looks new ask $475.00-$500.00 firm, you can get it. Stihl's hold their value very well..

Thanks Thall.. It does have some sap on it and I did knock off some paint on the tip of the bar. We'll blame that on my inexperience. Bottom line I bought way too much saw for my needs. I would've been better off borrowing or renting. You guys got me pumped on the 361 last year and I just had to join the club.. :greenchainsaw:

My 361 was 14,600 but found that a hair lean for stock and turned her down at the gtg closer to what you had her stock for a bit to see.
Sounds like you got one of those one of a kind saws that everything is just right. Sure wish we lived closer and could sink it in some fresh poplar off my land and see it for myself. Wouldnt mind seeing that race 357 in the same wood too. Good luck on the season.
