I was told that it may improve your 60 foot time because the cool 
aluminum combustion
chamber can take more advance. Through the rest of the gears in a 1/4 
mile the timing
is "correct". Nothing said about iron heads so I suspect it's limited to 
all out race motors.

Remember I'm just reporting what I heard.
