The oil pump relief spring is behind the pressed in cap that is exposed when you remove the pick-up tube. I don't recommend just "shimming" the spring, because all of my experience is in the following statements:
The spring will be put into bind after the full open pressure and the shim have taken all the distance, and forced the cap (pressed in) to walk out to relieve the pressure. Therefore, there is no gain in pressure.
Also, the 2.3 lives at very low pressure anyway...30psi to 40psi at full chat. It is product of large galleys and large bearing surfaces. Use specified clearances at the large end of the specification and you will be fine.
Be aware that higher oil pressure not only adds heat to the oil, it also puts a greater drag on the auxillary shaft (less power gets to the wheels). <_< The volume of oil delivered to the bearings is the secret to a good oiling system. Pressure is the delivery system. If your bearings don't show signs of lack of oil, the system is working fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Remember, the spring is a "relief" device. When it is not working (bind) the pump will be able to generate full pressure...upwards of 150psi, and blow the filter can and or seal. You don't want to put the spring into bind.
The only "sure" solution as a different pump built with a heavier spring, or a different spring with different pound per inch ratings.
Good racing.
