I feel like the 1.4x3 hole pistons keep the car in the track better because they soak up a little more of the bumps and don't pack as quick as the 1.6x2 pistons. Plus our local track doesn't have any really big 1/8 jumps so my car isn't bottoming out with the 1.4x3's. We run another track that has bigger jumps and I will normally switch to the 1.6x2 rears to keep the car from bottoming out but I will also change shock fluids to try and keep the traction similar. I almost always run the 1.4x3 in the front because I feel like it keeps the car mellow and not really wanting to wonder. Plus with the laydown this car feels like I can always get more steering if I need it.

So to answer your question I did feel like the traction was a little better with them.
