you wont need to use Rhoads lifters with that cam IMO your hauling such light weight

Just thought they would be better than standard ones, ie: not pumping up and holding the valves open. That means less pushing on the cam lobes and less wear??

Cam wear has nothing to do with that.

Rhoads bleed down lifters are typically used with bigger cams to try and tame them a little at lower rpm's.

Unless you have a big cam, they're not needed and not really wanted.

Just buy some decent hi-rev lifters or whatever they call them these days
