- Conical cut refers to a radiused surface on one side of the piston, usually the compression side.
- Tapered cut refers to the holes and their orientation to the horizontal surface of the piston face. Stock are straight cut, holes are drilled at 90 degrees to the horizontal plane. Wereas tapered pistons are cut at an angle as they pass through the piston body. As for the fluid dynamics bit, well that's outside my pay grade!

Does Serpent offer a tapered piston? If so, where do you find it?

That's what I thought Bigjay. It seemed as if folks were eluding to another option set of pistons. Just wanted to make sure we were all on the same page.
