I dont know what the pressure relief valve is. I may be pulling the motor shortly to rebuild it since its burning oil now. 
Hopefully its just a messed up valve guide seal.

My ported LS6 pump makes about the same pressure as the stock one. I don't think that there is fundamentally really any difference between them. However, shimming that relief valve would probably work to increase peak pressure.

Why Do You'll Want So Much Iol Pressure 30 To 40 All The Time Is Good To Much Is Not Good Either It Will Wash Out The Bearings Faster. That Is Not Good Either.so In The Middle Is Good. I Go Off Of Idle It Should Be Around 30 To 35, As Ling As It Goes Up And Not Down When I Give It Gas It Is Good.
