Removed power steering
Just removed my power steering belt. Definitely an increase in the low end according to my butt-dyno. Now gotta decide if the extra power is worth having to muscle the car around low speed turns.
Anyone heard of converting our steering from running off the engine directly to maybe an electric setup?

That doesnt sound like too smart of an idea. I have a 74 Toyota Corolla that weighs 2200 pounds and without power steering it feels like I'm driving a semi around corners. Then again there was never power steering available for those years. I would hate to be you driving around the city.
While your at it, disconnect the A/C pump... hell why not disconnect the alternator too for those quick trips to to the corner store.
For the track it'll help to free up those last few HP... but in the street its just not reasonable.
