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.

Im agree, first thing id do is see about upgrading you intake plumbing to something bigger. Even a slight restriction will cause cavitation.
