It isn't the shiny look of a fresh aluminum head that will grab you, it's the nicely shaped port and bowl forms, the quench combustion chamber, and the deeper, angled spark-plug position.

That exercise showed 291 cfm of intake airflow against 233 cfm for the 906 casting. and 223 cfm versus 171 cfm on the exhaust side.
