Fluid will flow slower from the tapered side of the hole than it would through a conventional hole of the original diameter.
Flow from the opposite side of the piston from the taper will absolutely be increased.

Setup info? Any feedback?

I have recently purchased a set of these pistons for my FT SC10 but can't really find any feedback on performance or setup. I really want to give them a try but it rained alot last night and this weekend is my last chance to practice for GCS race next weekend so trying to find a good starting point with oil wt. Any feedback or setup info will help! Thanks!
