Default ls pitons and cams?

I have stage one crower cams in my ls right now, but in the latest import tunner, I read that after cams were added to the ls motor with a pistons upgrade, it lost two horse power, will this happen to me if I add Type R pistons with my combo?

I have not seen the mag but did it occour to you that they may not have been looking at peak power. How is the torque curve compared to the stock one?

Yup. Here's the part you missed.

After a few pulls, we recorded a monstrous increase in usable low- to mid-range power and torque, often showing gains as large as 9 to 10 hp and 13 to 15 lb-ft of torque. Clearly, these cams were designed with the all-around street enthusiast in mind; the "off-the-line" horsepower and torque numbers were simply remarkable. While there was a small sacrifice of peak horsepower at the peak point (- 2.6 hp), the increase in bottom end seemed more than enough to compensate. These cams would be well suited in all-around street cars and, especially, engines used for road racing; basically, anywhere a broad powerband is needed to help jettison the car in areas other than top-end.
