Gets the fuzz off!
I think you mean the "heads". It serves two purposes. One is to resurface the sealing areas, the other would be to increase compression ratios. It can increse HP, but can also lead to trouble. In overhead cam engines, the cam timing can be severely affected.
Best to run your ideas through a local speed shop, or engine builder.

shaving the headers merely gives them a true fit to the head. it saves on gaskets and may give you some more ponys if there was a leak before you shaved them

it just makes them totally flat so you don't have to go and keep putting new header gaskets on every month
