do you put the shim behind the spring for the valve?
would this increase the pressure at all rpms or just increase it on low rpms, is this a common thing to do with the "ported" oil pumps

so if you just buy a stock LS6 oil pump, you can add a shim to increase its pressure in all rpm ranges, why dosent everyone do this?
would adding a shim cause any neg. effects? does the valve just regulate/release pressure
