Talk to one of the guys at Ridetech...forgot his name but I think he owns the yellow Ridetech test car but should be pretty easy to narrow it down. I was chatting with him at one of the Good Guys events and the conversation just happen to steer towards rack and pinion...pun intended. Basically he had the opportunity to try out all the r&p's out there and was unsatisfied with ALL of them in one way or another however was very happy with a new steering box. I forgot which one but you can't go wrong with a Lee 600/670 steering box. I have a 12.7 and love it. If you want "normal" or less response, go with the 14.1

This is always an issue in one way or another and depends on type of engine, type of header/size combo but I run the 1/7/8" LS swap Dynatech headers and the clearance is incredible. Most can get away with a banging a little dent for fitment but again this all depends on the engine/header combo...
