Piston pin offset "controversy"

Uncle Tony says a loose engine is a happy engine. From what I can tell from all this is, yes it said in the old performance books to switch pistons around. It seems to reduce friction. Is there power gain? unknown at this point. I seem to think it info from 50 years ago, the aftermarket has changed and technology and practices have changed. Is Tony incorrect? No, not if that info is in old books. Is there power gain? We won't know until Nicks garage jumps on board with his dyno...:)
