I talked with Hotchkis at SEMA and they mentioned that they were using a steering quickener on the yellow Challenger. Is anyone aware of one that would be the least drama to install in an Ebody with a Borgeson box?

I have seen circle track cars with them. The one I saw was installed on the inline with the steering shaft. I am not sure where you would squeeze one on a real car.

Because fast ratio arms aren't compatible with every combination of headers and if you start moving the engine around, it complicates things even further.

Plus they are a lot less expensive.

Steering quickeners aren't small either

Soem dimensions and options to look at

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Once I get my front end together I can evaluate how it one would work with the 3G Hemi headers.

DANGINA -- in regards to your statement: "I have fast ratio arms with a boregson box and its just under 2 turns lock to lock"... How many turns lock-to-lock is it WITHOUT the longer fast ratio arms? In other words, by ADDING the longer fast-ratio arms, do the tires simply HIT the frame rails more quickly, thereby, CAUSING the reduced turns, lock-to-lock of "... just under 2..."?
