Lightbulb Different Degree Heads?

What angle is being measured for the various heads and what makes certain designs better.

There was an engine builder with a SBC that was all about some serious business. He told me that he is using 18* heads that were cut to 16*.

So please help me understand heads.

In addition to the angle, it seems that larger volume intake ports are better - larger valves of course, how about the volume of the chamber.

A thread about rod length in the tech section got me to thinking about some other aspects of engines that I have not yet grasped.

Thanks,

The angle is the angle of the valve in relation to the intake port...The straighter the better.
