OK, who has a Flaming River rack?

I'm thinking about removing the power steering. How much weight will it save? How do you like it? Any down-side going with the quick-ratio rack?

I am using the FR kit - steering rack, tie rods, and steering shaft. The install was a breeze, looks awesome, FR makes quality parts.

I am using 15X5 Draglites on the front and try to drive the car as much as possible. I do not regret the move to manual steering at all.

Not sure on the weight, maybe 20-30 lbs?

I have one as well, someone used to advertise the weight difference I think it was around 30#'s or so as well. Can't really give you much input on how it drives and my likes/dislikes there but I was not bothered by bypassing the p/s pump, so I should like this much better.

Thanks for the info.
I sure would like to knock off another 30# or so from the frontend, considering I will be retaining the a/c for another year. Mainly because I am going to "try" to compete in 5.0 magazines King Of The Street contest. I wonder how much it will hurt my cars streetability (in their opinion) by eliminating the p/s?

I am also going to be buying one within the next week. I think I am going to buy the quick ratio rack

Just remember quicker ratio means more effort to steer than slow ratio.

hmm really? more effort? Maybe your right but that more effort won't matter since it turns faster!

I just ordered one off ebay for like $424
