Fast ratio pitman and idler arms

OK , here’s my experience. First, I have a Firm Feel stage 2or 3 power steering box. (Police box level I can check which one.) I also run the Imperial length pitman arm from Firm Feel. As far as exhaust goes, I have home made headers that do clear. I’ve now run these for close to 10 years.

This gives me 12:1 ratio. I absolutely love this set up!!! Also with bigger sway bars. It’s great to be able to make what I sometimes call “Porsche lane changes.” I have run a little SCCA autocross and other amateur autoX for fun ...quit because I can’t afford to eat up tires that fast!!

Here I give credit to Rick Ehrenberg and his road race “Green Brick” Valiant articles. I run only the long pitman. Save your $ and skip the idler. (As I’m told the Trans Am cars did!)

Depending on tires and such this can give you a shorter turn radius as well.

Personally I’d give up some manual box driving ease for a little quicker ratio, but that’s a very personal choice.
