Mark, the rack is the standard rack. I will definitely need a steering quickener. I just need to decide if I am going to a 1.5 or a 2 to 1 ratio. A lot of the tracks I am on are tighter than the 01 car. I feel like my hands get crossed up. I will also raise the steering wheel a little to get it out of my lap.
Be careful here. My JBL has a 20:1 steering rack and it is correct for the suspension. If you change to a quicker ratio at speed the transition is very quick. I tried 16 & 18:1 ratios and it was white knuckle! The designer told me I would kill myself and I believe he was right. At slow speeds it is slow to steer, but at speed I wouldn't want it any quicker, I tried. Hallett has a couple really tight turns. I would check with Fran before the switch.
