This pump was special ordered and speced out for a Factory Stock application when ordered. With that said, using an external regulator is not accepted as I'm sure you know.
There are others in F/S using the energy recovery pumps that is why the owner requested to switch over.

The regular LS OEM oil pump puts out 4~6 GPM's of flow and will cavitate past 6000 RPM. The Schumman pump has an output of 8.5+ GPM's past 6000 RPM's.
Ask Vern how low you can go on oil pressure and still keep at minimum 8.0+ GPM at high RPM's without cavitating.
Also ask Vern if he has a weaker relief spring that would do the job in lieu of cutting more of the spring.
Eventually with use and heat cycles, the spring will change its tension.
