OK here is the brine I used for a 3LB loin.

1 gallon water

3/4 cup salt

1 1/3 cup brown sugar

6 teaspoons cure #1

20% pump

soaked in brine 7 days

Is my cure rate safe,  seems like a lot to me.
 
Your cure rate is fine.

Most of us use Pop's brine which calls for 1 TBS per gallon of water.

But I have used up to 3 TBS per gallon to cure it a bit faster.

You are still safe even at 5 TBS per gallon.
