Default Different steering ratio racks?

First, let me ask a question...
All of the V8's came with the tighter steering, right? 14.4:1 if I recall...

Now...
Is there a company that offers a tighter ratio? Is there anything that can be done to tighten the ratio?

Thanks!

Data is over a year old, so take it for what it's worth.


ACDELCO Part # 3616562 if your car was delivered w/o Z-rated tires (F41 suspension)

ACDELCO Part # 3616537 if your was delivered with Z-rated tires (FE2, FE4 or FE7 suspension)

F41 rack is 2 3/4 turns lock to lock
FEx is 2 1/4 turns lock to lock

Excellent, that confirms that I have the tighter. Less excellent is that I want even tighter. Is it possible? Is there a retrofit, or an aftermarket swap that anyone knows of?
