Very true about the cost difference. I would have to figure out another location for my catch can since it sits in the alt relocation spot. Another reason I am considering a manual rack is that it removes more drag from the drive belt without that pulley and pump there. Not to mention frees up some more room in the engine bay. Decisions are hard, haha.Quote:

I've been considering a manual rack as well. I wonder how would a manual rack fair in a road race scenario?
While I don't have any direct experience with RR, I would imagine that it might be a little more tiring on your arms in the corners. Although the way I understand it, the Madman rack is supposed to be very close to a powered rack in terms of ease to move the wheels. Other than at a dead stop of course.Quote:

Yes to both and to clear up the engine bay.Quote:

The Madman Manual Rack has a higher drive ratio so turning is almost as easy as with a power steering rack. Also, once the tires are moving, I barely notice the difference.
Even with 275s up front? Meaning no reason to run skinnies? Do you think this would be fine to use on a RR track? I really want to delete it but if it would be more of a hindrance on a RR track I won't, the same with ABS (except I am definitely doing that). I am also getting rid of my air bags and putting a smaller wheel in place of the stock steering wheel.Quote:
