I'd wait for the 20:1. When will that be available? Thanks
I have no further info at this time. It is still under consideration.

To twitchy?????Once again, any updates on the 20:1 box. I was interested in the 16:1 PST box but heard it may be too twitchy for drag racing.

Your reply was very helpful though.

My bad. Sorry your hurt.
Honestly, I don’t see it. But a lack of drivers skills will show up on something like this. If your expecting a loose wheel that takes half a day to turn a corner (Many many turns) vs a sneeze and your doing 360’s, yup! That’s a problem.
I had the same thing and tightened the plug,seemed to cure it.I installed my 16:1 PST box in May and then took the car to get an alignment, because I also changed control arms and wheels. The guy at the shop said that the gearbox was too tight out of the box. So he loosened it up to "break it in". Not sure, if that is necessary. Anyways, after I picked up the car I noticed that there was grease coming out of the top of the box:

Is that bad? Also, do you recommend doing the worm bearing pre-load adjustment before tightening the box?
Got my 16:1 PST box installed last week and I love it. Not overly stiff at all.Way easier to steer then I thought it was going to be. I also had the grease come out. I'm pretty sure it's just a relief valve.
so, after it's "broken in", are you supposed to tighten it back up?...The guy at the shop said that the gearbox was too tight out of the box. So he loosened it up to "break it in"...
Thanks @347Duster247 and @lead69, that's a relief! I like the 16:1 box a lot too and it's really not a noticeable difference to the 24:1 box I had before. Only that it's not that sloppy, haha.

He said something like it would help to get the grease between the gears, but honestly I wish he had just left it alone completely. I'm sure they're fine from the factory. I brought the car in for an alignment - not for him to mess with it. He claims that he's been wrenching on Mopars since he was 16 years old when he had a '66 Valiant as his first car. He's got some Mopars on his lot and says he has a '65 Barracuda Formula S that he's gonna fix up soon, but I don't really trust him that much anymore. I have some QA1 adjustable strut rods that he doesn't seem to understand and bitches about, haha.
Who in LA did the alignment and install work?
Gus at Lizarde Auto on Figueroa in Cypress Park/ Northeast L.A. - I've known him for like 14 years. He's across the street from a job I had back then. And he was the one that I could find that would do an alignment on an old Mopar. I just saw your Fall Fling link - where in L.A. are you? I'm in Eagle Rock.

wondering what @PST has to say...He said something like it would help to get the grease between the gears, ...
nice looking barracuda, you should just learn how to do the alignment your self
