supha valve vs piston

I have a piston valve and I am convinced that a supha valved from spud tech cant be any more powerful because a piston valve allows as much airflow as the barll diamiter is, so how can a supha valve be better that a piston valve?

NEWS FLASH:
This is just in, a supah valve is INDEED a Piston Valve
the supah will beat anything anybody else can make.

I seen a diagram of the supah valve that PCGUY posted and the only real differance that i can see is the supah has a lot more solid construction other then just glueing blocks to catch the piston. I can't see where that makes it any faster. Just like fishing lures, made to catch the fishermen!
NOTE: The diagram post was a sugested design if i'm not mistakeing, correct me if i'm wrong???

all i know is that it's very very well made, and the supah is a chamber sealing valve so it opens faster

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought people did tests on SGTC and found barrel sealing valves to be slightly faster...

when you think about it... the chamber sealing valve *should* open faster, because of the more area on the sealing face means more force and less pressure difference between the chamber and pilot it needs to open.

Yeah, I thought that same thing too... but when I was doing some research I came across this... kinda hard to find because it's in the archives but it's by clide, so you know it's good stuff
