Default What is the preferred lifter coating for a used cam

I'm making some minor changes to try to get my T/A to run better at idle an low rpms. Currently idles at 1400 and soots up the rear valance. During spirited driving it pulls hard for what it is. Its a 455 with 4X-7h heads, Qjet, RA3 manifolds, lunati 301/308 (231/240) .424/.424 lift (as reported by the seller). It has been suggested in other threads
I need more compression and the cam is a little big. The plan is: first rhoades lifters, then carb tuning and curving the distributor.
I got some new lifters from Rhoades last week and want to use the existing cam. With all the failed HFT cams lately, I want to coat the lifters. I got the lifters with the oil hole on the bottom. Recommendations are appreciated.
