I have never installed one...my friend wants me to install one from Unisteer on his 72 Roadrunner. Its supposedly a bolt in.
Is it worth the $1300?

I ask because I haven't a clue....I have advised him to a quick ratio Firm Feel and a rebuilt Steering pump and it should be an upgrade on its own

apples to oranges. Up to snuff steering boxes and a rebuilt system did not compare to the RMS and like I stated earlier, I drive both and there was no comparison in terms of feel and response. It's a totally different feel....

There is no way in hell a rack can be called a marketing strategy.
The Op did not mention the "RMS" rack, others did, and that is a proven thought out system, the system the OP asked about has a poor reputation, as evidenced here, and reviewing it as advertised is, as I stated, and will repeat, mainly a slick marketing trick to try and piggyback on the success of proven systems like "RMS". However stating that a rack system is and of itself a huge improvement, is hard for me to totally accept, in that anyone using a typical RMS system has made many other changes that play a part in the perceived steering improved results, and attributing that improvement to strictly or even mainly to the use of a rack, is only an opinion, imo.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Before this completely turns into an apples vs, bananas pissing contest, you have to remember that an RMS is a completely redesigned and engineered front suspension system. It does what it does very well.
The UNIsteer is an attempt to hack R&P into a sytem that was NEVER designed for it, and it fails miserably besides just plain being a crap kit.
