Cole has one of each, but theyāve been dickered with. Probably slower than stock
What are you calling "the barrel"?I know Iāve been able to get 15-18% quicker cut times on the 462c with the stock barrel and around 27-33% with the barrel flow-ported. Not sure what the hp is but bmep says about 7.5-7.8
@Red97 Is there a good way of getting the ideal tune for a dyno run by tuning it under some load on the dyno? Personally I wouldn't want any of my saws every revving over 14k at any time unless given permission because crazy high rpm puts a lot of stress on an engine, having to accelerate the piston in different directions so fast. Just something to think about for customer saw life, and even personal safety in case a flywheel had some defect. I didn't know it would rev up near 16k, and I read someone had a race saw flywheel blow around 17k. Then there's potential harmonic distortions and such.
Should send one in for some pulls. See if you need to drop rakers a bit moreRoosevelt, that the saw will rev to 16000rpm is meaningless ... What rpm it cuts at dogged-in under load is what really matters. This is a function of torque and we extrapolate hp from torque. The 2 saws I have from Hotsaws101 will pull 11,500 in the timber with a prepared chain
I agree with this statement. With a poorly prepared chain We arenāt doing anything but burning up the saw. In fact a stocker with a Razer sharp chain can and will outperform the same version ported saw with a so-so chain. I Shoot for gobs of torque down low in my builds as this seems to translate into a better performing chainsaw (with a properly prepared chain of course) in the wood. We have to remember the final link is the chain and our āgearingā options are limited to 7,8,9 pin drive sprockets. If I was building a kart engine raced on a track with long straightaways Iād build for mid-high end, tight twisty track low to mid but STIHL wind out on topView attachment 912
Here is the full 064 graph.
Which verifies peak tq in the 8500-9500 range. Right were it was full load with a big bar and sprocket.
Fastest cutting speed has more to do with chain tune.
This saw is more "high strung " than most being peak tq is up around the 9k mark vs the 5-7k of most other saws. That is part of the reason it wants to spin. It is making its power hp and tq higher than most.
Iām running .026-.031 on the rakers, seems to pull nice chips. Iām not an advocate of dropping them excessively low, Iāve found thru experience itās counterproductive when cutting hardwood - beats the piss outta the saw and the sawyer. Right now Iām very busy with saw work so sending that one in isnāt in the cards. I can send in the Hotsaws101 241c insane-0 version if you can run it, running 7pin 3/8 picco so not sure if you can accommodate thatShould send one in for some pulls. See if you need to drop rakers a bit more
