Generally speaking I think it is best to stay well away from IPs (well I'm saying this until I've got it figured out!).

You said this in your first post =>

Some of the people on the end of the phone might be giggling but I guess most of them just don't know how to fix injector pumps.

There is a lot of information available on the internet - to be honest I'm a bit confused by it all. Some of the advice given is hotly contested - it is a bit of a mine field. Generally speaking most people who want a tuned injector pump seem to think that the only people who can do it live in Finland...

...the one thing that I'm sure of is that most adjustments need fine tuning on a test rig. (I'm planning on building my own - wanna race?)
