Default Anyone try Rhoads Lifters recently?

just checking; used these with really good results in an SBC quite a while ago; they lasted for a long time, too. It was not with a wild cam but still, they helped, esp at idle and slightly off. Much better vacuum than you would think.

So the theory seemed to make sense and work.
Haven't seen anyone mention them on these forums, and their results if they posted any...
Has anyone tried them with or without success?
Thinking of using them in my build...

Replies appreciated!

Just a note; there are a few 'mentions' of the Rhoads name in a few threads, but no info, nothing helpful.

Thx
GP

177 views and nobody... guess they aren't directing their market efforts to this segment! I still plan on using something like them; they boosted low rpm vacuum and made a somwhat more aggressive cam much milder at low rpm and idle. Just like the ads say LOL!

Theres alot of guys saying all they did was take away from the high lift cams at idle, but they were creating excess noise and not anymore beneficial on the LSx platform than a standard LS7 lifter.
