no power steering
I'm going to be removing my power steering for racing purposes and someone had told me that I could just run a hose from one side of the rack to the other side so that the fluid can still move. My question is has anyone tried this and how hard would the steering be with this set up compared to having a manual rack?

Turning one of these cars with a power rack without power will be tough and IMO a little dangerous. The difference between the ratios of a power and manual rack is pretty big.......if you want to find out how hard it would be just put you car in neutral shut down the motor and try to take a tight turn . Manual rack for F-bodys aren't cheap but if your set on getting rid of the power steering you might want to look into one.

I dont have any trouble with it. Maybe you should work out more
