Hmm good info. How do you change the flow? New pump or not even needed? Mines really only noticeable when say power sliding and i need to counter steer quickly the other way. I can feel it lag.

Actually thinking about it a smaller pulley would flow more to correct?

I am running a different pump. A smaller pulley will only let the pump hit max flow at a lower RPM, but won't provide a greater max flow.
