Not so sure I'd want to try it... unless I had another pump lined up already to replace the shaved one with, should it prove inadequate. I think underdriving it would be a more prudent approach. If for some reason that is unacceptable, kart racers sometimes will remove every other flywheel cooling fin as a way to reduce the hp losses; that might work here too.
