Not sure if it should be less intense or not, but as you already changed pumps (i.e. new diaphrams) make sure the cam adjustment is correct. At idle position, loosen the long machine screw and lock-nut until clearance is obtained, then tighten back up until all slop just dissapears. You may just this type of linkage problem.

Even switching to hole #2 for the cam, I recommend re-doing the above adjustment procedure. Holley also calls for a clearance check at WOT, but if you do as above, it will undoubtedly pass. Clearance check just makes sure cam doesn't drive accelerator pump to bottom out when throttle is fully open. Hold it at WOT and make sure the accel pump lever (coming out of the pump housing) can still move.

LOL...here I am trying to help and I have similiar issues of my own...how ironic!
