I was just on Firm Feel's site investigating a future purchase and noticed the 20:1 and 16:1 manual boxes are no longer available.
Anyone know why?

Flaming River has a Mopar manual 16:1 box for A,B,E applications PN# 1540 $500
Bummer is that it has a heavier cast iron case than the factory aluminum case.

if you get the 16-1 be sure and get a gym membership to go with it. 
I love my quick ratio box and don't notice it being difficult to steer.If you compare it to power steering it will feel hard but If compared to a stock manual box there is not much difference.

Whoever was making the gears decided not to make them anymore. Happens all the time. Low volume stuff doesn't pay the bills so the products get turned off when the tooling wears out.
The Mopar 2011 Performance catalog still lists a manual steering gear kit (20 to 1) #P4007612...
Just my $0.02..
