I understand that the systems with the lifters tied by a bar, unlike the factory rollers where the lifters travel in a bore with a groove are proned to failure. When that happens, the lifter rotates and destroys the cam, the bits fall in the engine and clog the oil strainer and you have catastrophic and expensive engine failure! So I am told the small increase in power is not worth the expense.
