I heard that too. But I don't remember where. They also said by doing this, they're going to get another 400-500 (just going by memory on those figures, but I think it's on, or close to it) rpm out of the engine, .

Exotic heads are super neat IMO, .

When the Pro-Stock trucks were still running. I remember Lingenfelter testing between the typical arrangement type heads (with I think 12* valve angles) vs. the canted valve type head. He said the canted valve head made more power, and that's what they decided to run.
