Sean,

If you can outline the differing opinions, perhaps some of us can  
respond based on experience.

I have a restrictor kit in my last build (in the Mach I) and I've not  
seen any problems.  I'm also running an external oil line and 2 qt.  
accumulator.  As I recall, the restrictor kit installed to all the  
main bearing feeds, all I can find is my notes that we took the  
procedure out of the Ford Performance book.

Asa Jay
Not blowd up here yet either.
