Default Power steering boil

cammed 00 Ls1 out of a WS6, spinning to 6700.

on track while road racing or drifting (moreso with drift ) i get a pretty bad power steering boil problem. it coats the left side of my engine and smokes after a hard session sometimes. i already have a BIG cooler on the low pressure side and it didnt seem to help

people have said they run a 25% UD pulley, but never specific if its a special PS pulley, or the entire crank pulled they have replaced. i dont see a need to underdrive everything else if the only problem im having is with the PS.

suggestions and experiences appreciated.

Putting a TO pump on a drift car is like winning the special olympics ...

and why would that be? because drifting is for retards? ....

i also road race the car, in case you missed that, in fact ive been doing that longer than drifting. its just drifting puts just a little bit more load on a power steering system than grip. so keep your ******* retarded ignorant comments to yourself when its a legitimate thread. thank you.
