I sure hope you are wrong.... The LFS that sold us the pump also built the sump I think I have a headache now...

That's assuming your pump is wide open on the other end with of course it is not but to me the obvious solution is to swap out the plumbing for at least 1.5" or even 2". This will mean you'll have to re-drill that sump hole.
