Why would low lift head flow hurt power?

How many “street” engines have you built using 50 degree seats that didn’t see any benefit?

If a 40 degree exhaust seat is an improvement (it aint) why not 35? Or 30?

Oh that’s right, this **** has been tested to DEATH and a 45 degree seat is the MINIMUM angle that should be used.

Lift be damned and curtain area too because the SHAPE of the seat (and the valve) is far more critical than the other two unless you live and die by flow numbers alone.
How much are you lifting your valves off the seats? If you are not lifting the valve above say 0.500" a 30° seat may flow a tad bit better. The problem with the 30° seats is valve seal. A number of the OEMs used 30° seats in the 50's. Valve spring technology did not lend itself to high lift very well. Also materials in cam and lifters were not very compatible to high spring loads and fast ramp rates. Engines then that exceeded 6000RPM were rare for street use. Again we get back to intended use. What works for you may not be what other people expect.
