I did some light porting on a LS6 pump and then shimmed the spring with some #10 washers (I think 3) and I run at leasty 30 psi at idle hot.

I checked and I have a purpule spring in there. Will the brown spring create more pressure?

The pump should have two springs that came with it. One in side installed and one loose. The one installed is the lower bypass pressure. the one that is loose is the higher. Call slp they can help.

Do you know if they are purchaseable? I think the one that it has now is low bypass pressure because my car would only see 30-35 psi cold and 20-25 psi hot. I need more pressure because of the turbo now having to feed off my pressure.
