I'm converting the steering rack to a full manual. I read it makes a big difference in the feel and is friendlier to drive with a full conversion as well.

You will really like the manual steering, night and day from the looped rack which is actually twice as hard to steer as a properly converted rack.

Might be a pig if you've got 285 r-comp's on the front though.

I've gone back and forth on chucking my PS, even bought a manual rack and I'm still not sure about it

Good way to build up the forearms . Yah, I'm gonna be running 285 Hoosiers this season, I need to put the power to the ground coming out of corners.
