The steering is noticeably firmer when I'm parked/not moving. It's slightly firmer at cruise speeds.
The biggest plus that I've experienced is there's less initial 'bite' or 'hit' of the hydraulic assist unit. The steering was only marginally affected. I've gone from one extreme to the other with the bypass and that seems to have been the biggest change.
Hope this helps.

I love the idea of softening that initial "bite" of the boost unit.....AND a good byproduct of that softening of the brake unit will be a stiffening of the steering, which for my taste is just slightly touchy for me.
Scott, do you have any good pics of the plumbing of the Heidt's Adjustable Power Steering Valve (part# PS-101) <--- same one right?
thanks....
