It means a cam designed to work most efficiently with the "Twisted Wedge" cylinder head design. The cam lobes are shaped as all other cam lobes, but their lift/duration/LSA/CL specs are designed to compliment the head design. The heads have altered (from OE) valve placement, sizes and port runner height. The name comes from the combustion chamber shape.
