I have had bad luck with offset lifters in 59* smallblocks, I would not do it, in a 48* engine it works great, at least with jesel lifters on a bigblock it should work and red zone is a great lifter

They are a necessary evil unfortunately, I got a set of the Isky Red Zone EZX lifters for my friends B1 engine. I am really not sure you're going to notice any extra wear, a lot of people will carry on about these things on internet forums but it's based solely on their opinions rather than actual accumulated data. I'd say run them and go.

The offset lifter straightens the pushrod angle a bit, reducing side loads. The lifter bore keeps the lifter aligned, which keeps the load even on the roller. No problems with my setup, been using them for several years.

I'll be on the phone with Isky in the morning to see how much its going to cost me to swap out the intake lifters..
One nice thing about the top of the line Comp Cams roller lifters is the pushrod seat is replaceable, so you can change the offset and the amount of pushrod oil metering.
Not trying to compare the Isky and Comp lifters, just pointing out the nice feature Comp put in their Elite Race series. http://www.compcams.com/v002/Products/CC-'Elite%20Race'-0.aspx
