I have a big hyd cam from straightline performance and I just replaced my lifters with a set from Comp cams. I was shocked that they just wanted the lash set from 0 to 1/8 of a turn as normally I would go to a 1/2 turn. Anyway I was surprised that they were as quiet as they were. Maybe it's because I am running M/T cast aluminum valve covers. (Very thick compared to some valve covers which may stifle the noise)



It depends on the lobes. Some of the Straightline performance stuff I have seen has very gentle ramps.
