With the smaller pumps, I would probably restrict flow to the cams with the restrictor.

Perhaps the most cogent quote from above is "it doesn't make any difference"...
That's a good point. I put the retractors in because, once up to temperature, the low oil pressure would come on at idle sometimes. With the restricters, no more red light. If i do put a turbo pump in during my rebuild, then I won't put the retractors in.
