Oil Restrictor

Do you think it would be a good idea to install a Oil Restrictor Kit like this Moroso. I am thinking of using restrictors like these in my my new
357 CID 4 Bolt
Pro Lightning 200's with 2.08", 1.60"
Comp Extreme Energy Solid Roller XR274-12
Weiand Stealth
motor

Would it be a good idea?
Is it even worth it?

I was thing that it would have some oil from reaching the cam and crank, which would increase power. And that it may be better for the cam and lifters?

Vendor: Moroso
Product Line: Moroso Oil Restrictor Kits
Material: Brass

Reduce oil flow for more power.

Chevrolet: 262-502, .0625 in. orifice, oil restrictor kit

When roller rocker arms are installed, along with a mechanical lifter cam, the amount of oil flow required to the valvetrain is greatly reduced. Installing this Moroso oil restrictor kit will limit this unnecessary oil flow. This kit reduces the power-robbing windage created from the excess oil draining past the rotating assembly and keeps the oil flowing where it is needed most, the rod and main bearings.

I agree... I used to run edge-orifice type solid lifters on flat tappet cams, for the same reason. The restrictors are more precise.
