My 16" 3/8 .050 bar came on Thursday and I put on some stihl RSC to make "a few test cuts" -- Well that turned into at least a dozen cuts because it was SO DANG FUN cutting with this saw! I didn't film or time anything, but subjectively, the cutting power is HUGE. I FLEW through every cut, and even with the bar buried in 18" fir and me leaning on it, it just growled through whatever was there to be cut and asked for more. (Not that there was any need to lean on it.)

I ran it again for an hour Friday evening, and it was simply amazing.  I absolutely love this saw. This is the first ported saw I have ever run and I hope to have it for many years. It is very light, well balanced and nimble in addition to the great power.

I want to thank JJ for answering all of my many questions about the saw after purchase. He's a great guy to deal with.

I also want to thank Ed Heard for porting this saw so well that it is still going as strong as ever.  Your work is still being appreciated years later.  :)
