Default Dyno results of power steering removal.

Has anyone dynoed their car before and after removing the power steering?
I am curious if any gain is seen.

im guessing that it probably robs around the same amount of power as the water pump..........so 3-6 rwhp......... heres a dyno comparison of before/after

usually drag cars get rid of the power steering is for less weight, and so they can get more room in the engine bay i think. i doubt its a hp concern.

Right, I know it is not a HP, but doe for weight savings. I just wonder if anyone has ever checked it out.

I am not worried about a few HP, I am just wondering if there is any loss, since it is a strong V8 motor. I wonder if it even shows up on a dyno?
