That is probably not a coating. Looks like the work of Bret Conway, of Performance Research. I have not spoken to Bret, or seen him at a trade show, in several years.

I can tell you that if you're running a higher lift cam and a big valve (some of the 409 stuff is close to big block Chevy rectangle port stuff) you need about 30 pounds more on the seat and about 50 pounds more open to control a modern Stock Eliminator lobe.
