What gains can be seen by bypassing the power steering pump? I was having a discussion with a friend who thinks that 2 or 3 may be the most that you would see by bypassing it. I was thinking closer to 10 rwhp. What have you guys seen?

I gained 5hp on my car with my big cam. With the smaller cam I had prior I gained about 3hp. It will vary between cars.

You use a shorter accessory belt, have to switch them back and forth for the dyno or the track only because it can be damaging to the steering rack to bypass the pump on a long term basis maybe.
Plus it's very hard to steer the car at slow speeds especially with full size front wheels/tires on.
