!Power steering

Who has totally removed their power steering system? What kind of gains did you see from bypassing or removing it?

The only gains you will see will be bigger biceps.

Have you ever driven a car with broke power steering? It's a bitch to turn the wheel.

It only takes 5hp? Thats a lot less than I thought. Someone told me they saw a article in one of the gm mags about someone doing a power steering bypass and getting some pretty good gains.

Its not that bad...I drove without mine for 2 months. Its only a pain in parking lots. If my pump ever fails again I wont think twice about ditching the whole system on my daily driver.
