Thanks for the tips about the washers, my implement valve didn't have any shims in it when I took it apart. I was able to get 3mm washers from Menards that fit perfectly, it took about 4 of them to get it shimmed to 850-900PSI. This made a huge difference with responsiveness of the loader, it now will pick up the front end and will lift 200lbs with no struggle. I'm not sure what the capacity is now but it doesn't hesitate with 200ish like it did before. This is great.

I am assuming there is more performance to be had with an individual pump. This might be enough for me as is, I am going to use it as is for now and see if it leaves me wanting more.

I am still a little leery about shimming the pump this much, maybe I need to do more research on the pump to settle my nerves but everything else in life seems to have consequences when they are pushed outside specs. I feel like I am feeding a gas engine nos or alcohol sure its fun and great now but how long do I have

Sparky40- thanks for all the pictures and the information, if/when I decide I want more power or don't want to abuse the existing pump I will probably use the same set up you have. I like the larger hoses for capacity tip!
