Anything on this in your experience?

My motor is a "Herby" special, I built it myself. It is carbed with MSD ignition, so I don't have a knock sensor besides my two ears. I guess that could be another hurdle for you if you are going to Rhoads lifters. I think there are knock sensors available that are designed for solid lifters, you can ask around about those. I know some people just disconnect the stock ones, but if I had them, I would want to have their protection.
