Rhoades Lifters

Is anyone running Rhoades Variable Duration Lifters in there FE? If so what do you think of them? Let's hear the good and bad if there is any.
I've heard of them a few years ago but have just recently done more research on them.

Thank you,
dslman1

I'd be interested to hear experienced opinions myself. I do know that most of the people that don't like them are those who've tried them as a band-aid after installing way too much cam. I think they sound like a great idea, but haven't tried them out myself.

A guy I know had Rhode lifters on his 289 engine, and said they were very noisy after warm-up. He finally swapped them out for a set of Comp lifters.
