Rhoads Lifters are here!
How much did yours cost? I called them and they have:
RL-1158 Standard
RL-1158L Have the oiling groove
RL-1158XL He said to buy these if I have adjustable rockers and they have the oiling groove..

bump...
gonna get a cam in a month or so, wanted to see if these are worth it. I tend to be skeptical...but if it makes a slightly more aggressive cam idle and smog better, would be worth it.

Still down to fine tunning , but it is looking like 0.060" preload is optimum.

mmm a fellow maggie lover.
you cammed?
yes they work but. they make noise. i dont find them annoying. I will try to make a video so you can hear the idle of my cam. my cam again is 216/224
You dont waste as much gas at idle i have still maintained my 14/15 mpg on streets and a round 25 on freeway. it will tame a wild surging cam if you have a A4 car. my torque is flat and revs to 5800 no problem thanks too dual springs and hardened rods

Verdad Gallardo noise dont bother me so much. as long as it doesn't sound like a rattle trap.
im looking to get a 225/230ish cam, but was looking at the rhoads to help idle quality and smog checks.

in a gto you probably wont hear as much. let me get a vid. i have shorties with cats and 2.5 y pipe, 2.5 magnaflow muffler with tips pointed out begind wheels. well you'll see em. i'll open the hood, then outside then drive. as far as smog you shouldnt have too for 5 years on new cars
No cam (either car).
The stock LS6 cam is supposed to be a very good blower cam.
I got Mr. Vette dyno'd and with maggie, Blackwing CAI and Borla headers.
485 rwhp 432 ft lbs.
The next "mod" on Mr. Vette is a Stealth tune.
The Rhoads are in the Cad.
After fine tune the Cad is going to see the dyno.
