AnyOne Used Rhoads Hydra-Solid Cam & Lifters?
Just thought I'd ask if any of you guys have run this cam/lifter combo on their F Body or any other engine.
I've done a search, but didn't find anything.
The theory sounds great, but information on it is hard to come by. I have e-mailed Rhoads for more info, but thought I'd ask if anyone on here has used the 'Hydra-solid cam/lifter combo. I have used their regular variable lifters in the past and found them to work as advertised with zero problems. I kinda liked the 'tick' as well. Whilst obviously not for everyone, they worked for me!
Although apparently, these Hydra-solid lifters don't tick.
I always like to think if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. However, I was told this about the regular Rhoads lifters and proved the theory wrong, - They did work! Thats not to say the Hydra-Solid combo would work better than a perfectly matched cam to a particular combination, if it works well at all that is! Its an interesting product to say the least. Their 'new' OE type hydraulic roller lifters seem to be getting a bit of praise in delivering the goods, just wondered about these.
What do you guys think?
