I am pretty sure those CB dry sump pumps only have 21mm pressure gears.
It would be nice to see a little more pressure,
but realistically is is probably more than enough.(or else the rods would be all over the road by now).
It may just need relief valve adjustment, or it may be all the pump can deliver..
