0# and up depending on the size of the hole in the restrictor.

It was a dumb question lol. I do hear that the limit to my block seems to be about 14 psi to be safe. Id like to have a bigger tq hit under the curve if possible.

Example for you. Blitzkrieg has a stock LS1 with long tube headers, GHL exhaust, small blower cam and a Dallas performance direct drive running a novi 2000 blower (not sure what pulley size) anyway without his ECS restrictor he was at 19 psi peak. With the restrictor he's at 15 psi.

Hope that helps.
