With regards to the iron vs. aluminum heads and power output. I've been coating combustion chambers, pistons, valves, etc, and i see little difference when the metal is insulated from the combustion process. The aluminum will undoubtedly carry away more heat, but in drag racing applications the weight advantage seems to be the only real advantage over iron.
