Hang in there NHRA. Don't give in to the rantings of the few! If they want rack & pinion, tell them to build a FWD conversion for SS/GT and leave real S/S alone.

Safety versus weight savings???
You should do your homework prior to making a non sense statement.
The common Mopar aluminum manual steering box weight is around 19 pounds. A rack & pinion weight is around 14 pounds, not counting the mounting provisions. So, if you consider just the weight of both, is a 5 pound weight difference worth a 10th or more???
