I have it on my 400

Kind of a pain to install and not too inexpensive (but needed if you have an agressive cam and plan to pull 6000)..

I doubt that much hp, but if it does give hp it will be in the very high rpms where the hydrolic roller lifters suck.

If I'm seeing this correctly, those are NOT going to work with GM hydraulic roller lifters.
