Power Steering Stiff After New Pump

I recently put on a reman. A1-Cardone pump. However after a couple days of driving, it is still quite stiff. I was wondering what could possibly be my problem.
Turning does not get better with higher RPM and it does seem a little easier to turn when you first crank it up but for the most part it's stiff all the way around all the time. However if it is idling and I try to turn the wheel it bogs the motor quite a bit.

The old pump worked better than this one! What's going on??

I plan to put TransTune in it to see if I can clean out the power steering rack.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks

Whats the verdict? My 97 is getting louder each day it seams. Who is Morads? How do they compare to AcDelco?

That verdict is long accomplished. I ended up getting a Morad used P/S pump and it worked EXCELLENT. But it's on my GT somewheres, I don't haz it anymore.

But Morad is an excellent place to deal with and they are very quick about everything they do, very professional. GO with them.
