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?
Go back and read the article.

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.
