Power steering set-up

Ready to consider power steering to do some autocrossing.

Running a 351W.

What combination of pump and rack should I consider?

Any other thoughts/comments/advice will be appreciated.

I used a AGW? Power rack for 93 mustang and the Forerunner Serp system from Vintage air. comes complete with proper pump and lines

TC,
May I ?
Contact "Flaming River" tell them DV/Ed from "Classics by Elite" sent you.
Now a few inadequate details, they will suggest the rack and the pump, if at all possible you want one that is adjustable at the power steering. If you were building a street Cobra I wouldn't suggest PS at all, but for Autocrossing / road racing it is almost a must.

The adjustable one, (adjustable to the pump making it more or less resistant to driver input). These units arew great but to be honest I haven't seen one for awhile -?

Power steering is great on the road or on the track: I have been on a road course with it and great and on the street you have no idea how nice it is to be able to negoiate parking lots and congested roads.

I had power steering on my CR and loved it for track or street. Of course it had a heavy 460 stroker engine, so that was a factor too.
