Anyone here ever use Topline Johnson lifters?

[Kern Dog]

Has anyone bought any of these lifters recently?
I am going with a Comp Hydraulic cam and while their lifters may be fine, I am interested in trying something else.
In 2006, I wiped 2 Comp Cams in my red car, back to back. This was before I knew about Zinc and Phosphorus levels. Since then, I have used a MP 509, a Lunati solid and the MP 528 solid. With the last 2, I used the Howards lifters with the EDM hole for direct oiling.
I'm building the original 383 for my other car and I want to reduce the risk of failure.

Kern, I had a Engle grind cam made for my 500" stroker (.539 lift with 244 duration @ .050 110 LSA) in my Charger and they use the Johnson lifters. I have had no issues with mine in the first few thousand miles I have on the engine I built. They are a hydraulic flat tappet and all seems well here so far...I run Amsoil 10w40 which has the extra Zinc for the flat tappets in it already and all runs like a swiss watch.
