Solid lifter / Hydrualic Cam

I have posted many times here, and elsewhere on forums, about the viability (in certain situations) of Rhoads V-Max lifters. I was never really a proponent of regular Rhoads lifters as a way to crutch a poorly matched (too big) for the application cam selection or especially running a bigger cam than needed with the intention of using Rhoads to manage it at lower rpm. When the V-Max came out, I studied their literature/marketing and it seemed like they had a product worth trying as a feature, not a band-aid. After running the V-Max myself, I can attest that they perform as advertized, on a large hydraulic cam. There is some noise as you would expect, but no more than a modern tight lash cam. I used them with a PurplePlus Comp Cams .904 specific hydraulic ".508" grind, a split pattern (247/254*-108LSA) version of the old DC/MP grind. With 273 valve gear on a cast (SpeedPro 4 eyebrow hyper) 9:1 compression 367 (+.040") and ported 2.02" J-heads and an RPM intake it ran 7.0s @96mph in the 1/8mi in a 2700lb car. Would rev cleanly over 7000, we had the limiter set to 7500 and shifted (904 TF, 4000 stall) at 7200. Never messed with the "lash" setting (preload off the BOTTOM of plunger travel), we had it set at .030 but you can set it as tight as .010" and as loose as .035" for that much "bleed" at idle. The car was overtired but adequately geared, so we left it loose for bottom end. Next I want to build a 426W from a 413 industrial block and use an old Sig Erson 990C solid (330* advertized duration!!) 280*@.050" .540" lift, with the V-Max to calm it down some, and I know they'll stand the RPM. I think these are viable for street use too, but have not done durability testing that I can verify. I'm actually wanting to try them on the street soon, too many irons in the fire right now....
