I was flipping thru some of my old issues of Street Rodder about a month or so ago and came across on article where they installed a valve inline to regulate the pressure. I'd have to find the issue again to tell you who made it.
Seemed like an easier (though not cheaper) solution.

I'd be interested in this too as my pump is out at the moment.
What is it, some kind of washer to restrict the flow?

No its just a washer (of a certain thickness, again I think about .031) to compress the valve/spring assembly in the high pressure line a little more than stock. Simple simple simple.
I just have never tried it or heard from those who have...

well guys, i had a "super meltdown" on this stoopid pooter last friday/saturday and lost everything. i just got back online as of this morning, and i think my scanner is fried.  the basic idea of this article is that a "shim" is inserted into the spool valve on the pressure side [outlet] that lowers the output pressure from approximately 1400# to somewhere around 750-825#. this makes a very noticeable difference ! i like it a lot ! but the hard part is getting the correct washers to use as shims. e-booger recommends adding approximately .062[1/16th"] to whatever shim[s] you may currently have in your stock valve. the shim washers are 1/2"od.x 3/8" id. one way is to drill out a 1/2" od. washer to 3/8", which is almost impossible to hold. what i did was to stack some 3/8" id copper washers on a bolt and turn 'em down on the lathe. super easy to do. if anyone wants some, let me know and i'll whip up a batch. as to when i can scan the article, it may be a couple of days yet. i will try to take a photo and see how that works. to the original poster, please accept my appologies if this has caused you any delays in your project !

These shims should work and come in different thickness for fine tuning the pressure. Stainless Steel Round ShimsClick on "round Shims",Choose "Bearing",Click on ".498 outside diameter."
