Many are missing the point of contention and issue with these new cylinder heads.
The Jones cylinder heads, including two of the Edelbrock approved heads, have an an angle plug configuration.
I believe that about 95% of the Chevy small block engines, use an OEM straight plug configuration.
Dwight Sutherland made a very clear statement on his posting regarding the fact that these approved cylinder heads completely deviate from what is stated in the rule book.
If the intent was to offer a replacement to the OEM cylinder head, why not offer it with the OEM straight plug configuration?
Does an angle plug offer a power advantage?
Yes they do!
