Default Shim the oil pump?

Has anyone here tried shimming their oil pump spring, in order to get a higher pressure pump? I'm doing a cam swap soon, and while the oil pump is starring me in the face I figured, why not see if I can get a little more pressure out of it. Maybe put a thin washer in there or some type of spacer? I've heard of porting it, but I've also heard this only nets little if any gains. Any ideas?
