There might be an easier way for you. Many people shim their stock springs with a modified washer. Its some weird size and you still have to grind it down to size. I think you might be better off making those shims in the correct size. Every pump is different, but I believe it will raise it to between 3000 and 3200 rpm. Someone who's done it can probably give more info.

I'll have to see if I still have the links bookmarked somewhere, if not I'll look around compD and cummins forum and you can too I know there are enough people that have done it.

I didn't have a good experience with the standard washers but the metric version worked perfectly. Here it is - Shim your governor springs - Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together
