Fuel pressure relief valve adjustment

Im not sure what its called, but on my 616 4cylinder there is a small banjo bolt with a check ball valve with a small spring that limits the ammount of pressure that the lift pump allows into the injection pump. So i was doing some stuff and i had it off, i took the spring out and stretched it a small ammount and put everything back together, i have to say the results are astounding, gained alot more torque in the low end but its also a little harder to start.
