All,

The post about power steering in the "All" section got me to thinking (I know, uh-ohhh.) I am not sure this has been discussed in a while (if at all) and would be something a new builder would be very interested in, I would think.

When I was selecting components, there were two ratios available with the Flaming River Mutang II style racks. I chose to go with the standard ratio rather than the "quick" ratio. My reasoning was that I thought the quick ratio would make the car to twitchy in addition to making the steering a little heavier.

The standard Mustang II rack is 4.15 turns lock-to-lock and the quick rack is 3.75. I am curious what others rack ratios are being used with other racks?
