Your asking the wrong person about that. I have never made a piston valve Mattyzip77 was the one who told me about this. He says it's better than a supah valve and a mauler so I'm going to say it is better than a piston valve.
If you want to know anymore info about it feel free to ask.

(EDIT) Matty has one he's says he is willing to sell so if you want one message him.
