    Rack Manual vs Power

    My rack needs replacing so I started thinking about manual rack. One less thing to be belt driven and free up a little power. Or is that not true.

          If you dont have the right one it does. My car has a manual rack , so does DEEPSTAGE. Get the quick ratio one and it drives awesome. Better wheel feel and alot tighter then the factory slush a mustang comes with.

            You dont have the weight I have over the front wheels either.

              Well brainiac he has a 83 Capri , so I figure that is the car he is asking about. So your opinion doesn't matter.:fu2:

                  He might have more weight if he's got a BBF sitting on the motor mounts instead of a tiny little 302 though.

                        Why would anyone do something stupid like that.

                            Good question.

                            They claim the new design fits all cars 79-04 though, don't they?

                              I have a quick ratio in the front of my car (with plenty of weight up there) and I'd do it again if I had another car.
