ultimately i would ask keith.........however what size to restrict to will be dependent on what rockers your using. i've used from .045 to .090.....it'll be a seat of the pants thing. too much oil and it'll run the pan dry or puke it out of the breather, too little and well you know what that show will look like.

i e mailed keith craft, there response was yes we run them?, that doesnt help me much. i am running erson rockers and smith bros pushrods with no holes in them. and a hydraulic roller cam.

i would think you could do better by calling them instead of the email, but why do you think .090 isn't enough? i am sure you could get two answers from guys here, some would say .060 some would say the .090 works.

how flooded does the top end get with the drill? you using the drip rails too?

i sent them another e mail they said they use between a .060 and a .090
so i guess i could start out with the .090. erson does not reccomend drip rails?. i never had a motor where the pushrods did not have holes how does the oil get to the roller tip?, is it because i am just using a drill the rockers and push rods are not moving i did not see any oil at the roller tips.
