I agree, power is definitely nice for the street. Especially if you plan to run a wide tire up front and a smaller diameter (Modern) steering wheel.

Just remember that manual boxs typically have a different ratio that is easier and slower than a power box with no belt on. I run manual and its fine. I dont park in tight spaces at the mall anyways.

A manual rack can give you a better feel for the road, but depending on which power rack you get, you can still have a great road feel that could probably be equivalent to that of a manual. It's the power steering setups of the 70's and 80's with the "one finger turn" that we think of that completely removed any communication between the road, tires and your hands.
