When installing a COMPLETE water pump kit, it's not uncommon to see a relatively substantial increase in water pressure.
It will likely "tame down" after a couple of trips to the lake.
Over the years, this particular pump has become more efficient, presumably due to a migration in the casting of the pump housing.
