How's the steering shaft holding up to the heat?

Mine actually had no issues where Country Boy's melted, maybe I have a bit more clearance. I thought mine was toast but it turned out that the clamping bit at the end of the shaft (clamps on the input of the rack) just had loose hardware.

It made 590RWHP at 10psi on a blind MAF tune that was targeted for 16psi (AFR off the board fat at 9.9:1) but I just couldn't get the boost up on the dynojet was on. It hits 16psi like nobody's business on the street and I have had it up to 19psi on good gas... I don't actually know what it's making, but it sure feels fast to me.

I've really enjoyed it...
I posted some video of it early Sat AM, but I may as well put it in this thread too since the rest of the car's progress has been here:
Several pulls through the gears from inside the car, showing tach, speedo, etc

Hey guys, been a while since I tossed up any pics so I thought I'd put up a couple from this weekend.
I *FINALLY* ditched the Hooker catback that has been on the car forever for a race bullet and MAN what a difference a muffler can make! The turbo comes up much faster. I had added a bit more fuel in anticipation but needed more. With my gate dumped into my exhaust I never used to hear it. Sounds sweet coming out now. It doesn't drone inside the car at all, I am really happy with it, big thanks to Jason W. for everything here.
Also a few weekends ago the car got a Spohn tubular K-member and tubular lower A arms. Big thanks to Adam W for the shop space and help with that and Chris J for lining it up.
9,000 miles at 15-17 psi regularly and fingers are still crossed. See you on the street
