It's got what came with it being a 20" bar with a 3/8" 7 tooth .He put a chisel on as per my suggestion but it's a guard tooth chain .In spite of that it's cuts okay .

It's probabley a toss up if running a 3/8" 7 versus a .325 8 which are basically the same as diametric pitch excepting the .325 doesn't cut as wide a kerf ,more cutters too .

You know you get around 50 cc's it can go either way ,.325 or 3/8" .

Now that being what it is it remains to be seen exactly what it might do as far as speed head to head against the 290 Stihl he just bought when he thought this one was grave yard dead .

I'll tweek it when I get a chance and test them both out .Of course then out cut them both with a souped 038 Av but that's kind of dirty pool so to speak .  ;)
