Rhoads lifters in the LS1's? Possible with knock sensor?
It was brought up in a thread that someone had considered putting the guts of a rhoads lifter into a roller lifter body but they were worried about the knock sensor (whole thread was about solid lifters and EFI). After this I did some research and it's rumored that LS1 engines after 01 use a Rhoads style lifter on the exhaust side to keep the vacuum up. I know Rhoads now makes an LS1 style lifter and am wondering if there's any support for us TPI guys. I know LT1 knock sensors are super sensative but how do there TPI counterparts compare? If this is a viable option i would be awesome for adding a big cam to a car and keeping it under the radar.

Rhoads makes a normal roller version don't they? I would think Rhoads would be the best people to ask about the big cam tpi question.
