I was just going to mount them at completely center of the ski, however, on the website it says the boot mount is -2. Is that where I should put it? Im using this ski for park only so I was wondering why they would need to be -2 back

Center mount it. If its not a fully symmetrical twin tip then the company will always recommend to mount it back a bit but it is not necessary

When I was considering getting j skis I emailed Jason and this is what he told me. He said if I ride no park at all go -4. If I ride half park/ half all mtn, go -2. If I ride park 90% or more of the time go center.

Note that I was asking about the allplay not the whip it but I assume it's pretty similar

So would that be true or core center then?

I would assume he is talking about true center. Core center most likely wouldn't feel symmetrical which is what you are looking for in a devoted park ski.
