On a first gen camaro i've found the limit with a 12:7 box, long pitman arm, & shortest outer steering arms. The steering get's too quick to accurately steer and car placement suffers. If you have a 13" steering wheel, it is even worse. If the front tires are way smaller than the rear you can tolerate a little faster steering, but not a lot. As you get closer to equal size tires front and rear, the steering get's more and more responsive to steering wheel input. My favorite first gen Camaro combo is 12:7 box, short pitman arm, short outer arms, and something like a 315:18 tire front and rear. Even with a 275/315 combo F/R I would do the same. If you have the long outer arms, you could use the long pitman arm with 12:7 box. The box MUST be a firm feel type or you won't be happy. A second gen Camaro works great at 12:1 For a junk yard version, look for a Jeep Cherokee box. I'm afraid of rebuilt boxes not being the correct thing, Ive read on the forums of too many who didn't get good boxes. The swap meet guys selling them are not to be trusted. I bought a "12:1" box that I found to be 14:1 when I got it home.
