Don't starve your top end either, you need oil up top to help keep your valves springs at a reasonable temp. Oil lubricates and also dissapates heat. We do run restrictors with spray bars in the valve covers. Depends on the application. Straightliners not as critical, endurance, and roundy round engines a little more important.
