I used one in my 96' TA. I used it until I warped a head running NOS.
I did not reinstall it after the rebuild since I was not going to be
spraying again. It kept everything in place well running over 7500rpms.
I also noticed that the car peaks at a lower rpm range now with it
out of the car. I did not change anything else, so it must have been
the rev kit.

Anyone ever had Lifter problems with them?
Seems they would load the Rollers hard all the time. Do not get me wrong I have ran them on solid lifter motors for years....Just always wondered

Hay Ellis~
Not to hijack the thread, but you are/were running a hydra-rev on solid lifters? Do you recall if you ended up using a different 'kit' to make them work, or would the standard "LT1 hydra-rev for OE lifters" suffice?
Only reason I ask is that I'm building a solid roller motor, and I had a brand new LT1 hydra-rev (for OE lifters) sitting out in the garage collecting dust. I guess I'll find out if it works with the new solid rollers. If not, it looks like I'll be selling a hydra-rev...
(haven't ordered the lifters yet, so I can't yet compare designs...)

I ran one on a solid roller years ago. You will have to run one for the Solid roller setup you have.
If you are interested in selling the one you have let me know.
The main reason i ran one BTW is I had a rocker let go and popped a lifter out of the hole. Luckily the cam and lifter were OK. With the Rev Kit this is not a problem with this. I am looking into it again for the same reasons. I know a few people who have had the Spider crawl up and let the lock bars go. I am going to rev to 7,100 and do not want this to happen to me
Good luck man!

Thanks guys~
Ellis -- Ouch! That's always a good day, when lifters jump their bores. That massive lifter retainer plate is quite reassuring! -Sounds like we're all in the same boat then -- 'preventative maintenance'.
It'll be a while (several weeks) before I find out if this kit works for my application, so don't wait up too long. Just now pulling the motor for a rebuild. Heads/cam work may take a month or two to get finished up...
Anyway, take 'er easy...
