anyone use this yet? hows the car feel? how many turns lock to lock? is it quicker ratio than the LS1 power racks? than the factory gear box? i like the steering in my 91 Z28 but i want power R&P, does it have the same feel?
thanks

Check out this thread... it seems like R&P is more of a pain than it's worth.

thanks for the thread link, i have read that before but they are talking about the cobra rack, pinto and 4th gen racks. i want to know the specs on the 10:1 Appleton rack that Hawks uses in their conversion kit. maybe these dont have those problems it all depends on how its built. thanks anyways

some one has to have converted to this set up.... all i want to know is if the steering specs are the same as a 4th gen or 3rd gen IE:
Stock 3rd gen steering box:

Turns Lock to lock: 2.5
Inches of pitman arm travel (total) 6.
Inches of tie rod travel each direction: 3

4th Gen Rack:

Turns Lock to Lock: 2.75
Inches of pitman arm travel (total) 5
Inches of tie rod travel each direction: 2.50

I have no idea if hawks is using the same rack as I am. I had appleton make my rack custom for me.
