Years ago, the Pontiac RAM AIR IV lifters used a special "thick" pushrod cup that reduced the plunger travel distance. I believe the extra thickness of the RA-IV pushrod cup was .100" so the plunger travel was reduced .100" by the design of the parts.

Maybe others can add to that design information.

The Rhoads VMAX lifters seem to work very well if adjusted properly.
