Re: rack and pinion

How does this ratio compare to the stock or zq8 ratio. What about the turning radius? When my dad put a rack in his '69 Nova, the turning radius went to shit. So after a year, it was thrown away and back in went a gearbox.

Re: rack and pinion

The ratio is about the same as the original set-up.My TY has the z06 rims 9.5 rims and it turn good i haven't done any( alimnt) but. it drives alot better the the original set up. The sterring is soft and tight ,a haven't painted the set-up jet because i'm still testing the system and if i need to do adjustment i don't want to mess up the paint. i dont want to sell something without being 100% that it not going to give anybody a problem it's steering guy it has to be perfect all the parts will be powder -coated .. and you save some weight about 5lb. from the original this set -up will be a bolt-on no welding it will fit in the chassic holes that came in the truck it will fit with rpm headers and stock ones .sorry for the misspell words . there are some pictures of the built in the forum from the start of the built.
