Default AFR Hydra Rev kit

Talking with some LT1 buddies about this product. Sounds interesting. Is it for LS1? Or could it be? How does it stop valve float and aid higher revving? I guess I'd just like to know if anyone has deeper details on it.
Thanks in advance!

its for LT1s... it adds extra 20-30lbs of force onto the lifters...keeps them from comin off the camshaft, they go under the heads... buddy has them on his car with AFR 190s and CompCam 305

Like T/A MEDIC said, it's the same pricipal as adding additional spring pressure without the dangers of collapsing the lifter, as it only applies pressure to the lifter body and not the plunger. I have them on a set of 210 LT4 AFR's. They do work! As T/A said though, not for LS1's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

ARE sells a Hydra Rev kit for LS1. Its listed in new GM Hi-Tech article about LS1 hop ups. It is for Hydraulic rollers but could prolly be used for solid rollers also if lifter body and heights were the same.
