this is just my opinion, but i dont believe this mod is really designed to free up power, while it may accomplish this somewhat. i believe it is more suited for someone looking for extra space for a header/WG dump on a beeg turbo or someone looking to reduce as much weight as much as possible.

I was giving examples of cars that haul *** and dont have power steering. The main example was our Drag Evo. I swear that thing moves around so much around the track that it probably goes 1400 ft to complete the 1/4. Once your car is moving, it really doesnt need PS.

I have the arias pistons in my new motor. There detail to the piston design is what impressed me the most. The valve reliefs were pre cut they sent crazy *** wrist pins that look like they could take well over 2000hp

Actually, there are enough parts on the car to delete the power steering with ease without buying anything. We've had ours off for 2 years.

The steering is tough at low speeds, once the car is moving it isn't bad.

In my opinion I feel I have more control of the car when It does NOT have power steering, and it is faster (butt dyno)

In my opinion also if its hard for you to turn the wheel than maybe you should hit the gym daily.

I want to take off the power steering temporarily just to see how it is while still keeping the ac operational.
