Default reduce LS1 power steering pressure?
How can I reduce the power steering pressure on a stock power steering pump on a LS1. I read they are around 1200-1300 and I would like it 800 or so....

I have a 80'vette with rack n pinion and it is way to responsive which is from the increased pressure.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of caster are you running?

There is a TurnOne (I think) pump that reduces idle pressure. Don't know of anyone that has used it right off hand.
