Also at first glance I realized these are not a true Hemi head. However when I looked more closely these are far from a Hemi head. I'm not sure they are deep enough to require a domed piston. They quoted a chamber CC that sounds like you could use a flat top piston.

Now that said, the Hemi head design has its problems. So maybe they solved a lot of problems with this design. However I'm not sure they will outperform a set of CHI heads.
These heads look almost identical to Kasse Boss 429 heads in the combustion chamber.
Probably didn't hurt that Greg Brown who makes them used to work for Jon Kasse
