Dester,
        It feels like the power band has been moved up. You feel it
mostly when it shifts (pulls better). The cost was kinda high for
the gain of a tenth or so ($700 for lifters, pushrods, guide plates,
new springs and retainers) but i'm happy with the results. As far as
the lifters go I changed the rockers and the springs while the heads
were on the truck so I didn't change the lifters. The stock lifters
work with the new rockers. I also replaced the pushrods when I installed
the new rockers.

Mike
