yeah thats what I would be worried about "playing around" with shims, adding shims is doing the opposite of what you want to do.

for the 3s...

someone correct me if im thinking wrong here...

assuming you follow the manual and check your "spring" tension and thats right on.

that spring tension is there to basically "limit" upper rpms from causing your oil pressure to blow out of everything..

its functioniong like a bov crank it down and youll get higher pressure at higher rpms...

whats 3 lbs at 2000 rpm and makes your stock gauge look nice and tidy, might be 20 lbs at 6000 rpm... thats bad...
