A combination of hole diameter and TOTAL hole area (of all holes) will give you the pack balance changes ... then there is oil to consider too ..

Although i've never experimented with different shock pistons I must say I agree with this answer, it seems logical.
If anyone wants to find out the total area of all the holes in their pistons the formula for the area of a circle is pi (about 3.142) x hole radius x hole radius (the radius of a circle is half the diameter).
For example the area of a 10mm circle = (3.142 x 5 x 5) = 78.5 square millimetres approx.
Don't forget to multiply your answer by the appropriate number of holes.
Can you post up the link to the thread you mentioned?
