I think he's referring to pulse timing for the exhaust.

v8 guys will install a crossover at a specific point in the exhaust (usually where the exhaust is hottest) between the left and right cylinder banks of the engine, the idea is that the timing of exhaust pulses will improve cylinder evacuation and fill. It suppposedly increases low end torque as well.

I doubt I'd ever do it on one of mine since like like the choppy exhaust sound. That's part of the appeal of a v8 hotrod, the cackle.
