    15:1 or 20:1 Rack

    I will be putting a new PS rack in my stang this year. I currently had a flaming river manual rack. In a car that will be running high nines would you put the quick ration 15:1 or the stock ratio of 20:1. The car will be drove on the road with no road racing just cruising. I want the car to handle well though. But wonder if the 15:1 will be to aggresive for a car near 140+ mph in the qtr.

    Any ideas or suggestions. Cost is virtuall the same between the two.

    I would be worried that it might be too easy to over correct on a squirly launch. I think I would prefer the stock ratio.

    From what I've been told. All 5.0 LX's and GT's have the 15:1 rack. So maybe the 20:1 is not the standard. This is coming from the Auto Cross Guys on the Corral.

    15:1 is the stock ratio of the v8 cars effectively.
