Reading about how great the 5000's were picked up 2-5000+ on Ebay.
Shep

325 chain with 7T  and some 3/8 chain with 7T same saws. Same  3/8 chain was run and was new out of box chain.

Here is some of the saws ran in 12" hardwood today. Thinking wood was cherry or hard maple.

stock husky 346xp 50cc,  325 7T  10.0 10.4,   3/8 7T  5.63  5.62

Just to show how good they were and are.  ;)

10.0 10.4 with .325 blows my mind.  That is a major difference.  Everybody is always talking .325 on 346's.  Proof is in the clock.  Will be switching my 346's to 3/8.  WOW!  16" bar I presume on .325 and 3/8.

16" 325 and 3/8. I'm thinking the 3/8 was oregon  round chisel and the 325 was windsor round chisel. 

I wish I would have ran the 8T 325 rim on the 346 too now. I still think 3/8 is the way to go if the saw has the guts to pull it.  Reason I say that is because I have 490 and 5000's that wont pull 3/8 like some of them do so they get 325.
IMO if someone is running a ported 346 on 325 for faster cut times it is because something is off inside. Like to high of transfers and or exhaust, lost some torque and just dont have the guts to pull 3/8 with authority JMO.  ;)

If you look at the 026 ported times with 325 7T 8T and 3/8 7T you will see that is the case with it. The transfers are just to high after cutting base for gasket and pop up with raising everything back up.  It isnt the fastest gtg cookie cutter for timed cuts, but with 325 RSC and 20" bar 7T she cuts it in the hardwoods buried.
