Default Cyl. head techie question

Got a question for you LS1/6 cylinder head experts: anyone associate Joe Mondello, the head porting pioneer, with state-of-art LS1/6 head work?

In the early 1960's Joe Mondello originally designed the "Posi-Flow" combustion chamber. Chevrolet uses the identical combustion chamber in their performance cylinder heads. Joe’s design was far ahead of its time.

I’m curious, why do you ask?
