If you plan on street driving this car at all, I'd suggest the power steering. If you dont you will remember this post when you are trying to turn around in a tight space. Been there, its no fun! Strictly a race car? --maybe different but I'm getting more spoiled as I ageI am considering converting to rack and pinion steering and want opinions on power vs. manual. I'd also like opinions on various manufacturers of conversion systems. Thanks, Jim
