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.

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

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.

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.
