I run one in mine, but I don't think I would tear it apart to do it now, maybe during your next freshen-up,,,I haven't torn mine apart since I installed mine, so I cannot tell yet if it has done anything to help or not.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I've never run one... with my stock block and a 3.79 crank I was running 8200 rpm and the mains and rod bearings looked great every time I opened it

I run it in my 410/59* -r block and have well over 300 1/8 mile passes. All looked great last winter when checked over Dave
On an R Block? Why? Making how many HP?

I was going to use one with my build. I handed the hughes one to Ryan J and he laughed in my face and said it wouldnt do anything. Went with billet mains instead.

So kenny how do you make the drivers side bolt clear the oil pimp on the rear cap? Already no space for a stud under there
The caps are milled flat on top, and spot milled on the rear cap so that everything is at the same elevation. No spacers in the equation to make it more effective. It is a band aid solution for using the stock block and caps, but sometimes a race block just isn't in the cards.
I have had the engine a part after seeing a fair bit of RPM and everything checks out nicely, so it seems to be doing something to help.
As for clearance under the oil pump, it is tight! We use an Allen head grade 8 bolt counter sunk 1/4" and the clearance the pump housing, and shave a bit off the top of the bolt head.
