Check with any roller lifter company on using restrictors with their lifters see what they say.
I have sold well over 250 SHP blocks and to date I have had zero problems with oil pressure. Like I have said if you know what your doing you should be fine.
Dart has built and sold how many SHP blocks and engines and their not seeing any problems
I just got two SHP blocks and Dart has sold over 32000 SHP blocks and nothing in the instructions mentions any oil problems and you have to run restrictors.
The biggest oil bleed off with any Dart block is using cam bearings with 3 oil holes something I don't do.
Many guys pay no attention to lifter bore clearance either. Something I always address.
Here is a video that shows the difference in lifter sizing between companies
