Your max power is governed by the engine on your splitter.
That power can be used in 2 ways - more speed, or more pressure.
If you want more splitting power, you will have to give up speed. Either a pump with less gal/minute but more top pressure, or a larger hyd cylinder which will move slower because it takes more oil to fill.
You went the wrong way - you got a pump that moves more oil. This will make the cyl move faster, but it will give you less force.
Messing with the pressure reliefs likely won't help you much, just stall the engine quicker. What you need is a pressure gauge, a bigger hyd cyl, or a slower gal/min pump that puts out more pressure (it's always a trade off, speed vs pressure....).
Look up the specs on all & don't exceed the max pressure of your weakest part.
