I know this thread is a few months old but I dynoed back to back pulls with power steering and without (just used a shorter belt to bypass it). The car picked up 12rwhp without power stearing. Not a bad gain for the cost of a belt.
, and they all tell me that steering the car with our manual rack is a breeze.

drag car - go for it.
DD - why would anyone even consider it? do you really need 12 more HP ( if thats what you would get) at the cost of making the car a bitch to drive?
to me its in the same category as sportline springs - is the slammed look worth making it ride like a POS? and you have to spend money and do work to make the car worse then it was.

in all honesty if you dyno'd the car back to back with no change at all i bet you could see a ~5 rwhp fluctuation, so i don't think dyno'ing each 1 time is enough to conclude that you would absolutely free 12 rwhp.
