I'm a mopar guy but come on...You won't get that IROC camaro feel out of the firm feel box and old sheetmetal... At least not without some major mods... Seriously though, as Steve has suggested if the parts were somewhat wore to begin with who knows....And checking the K and box out is right on track also.... ... There was a post where you can put a restrictor inline at the pump which does get you closer to the feel you're after {assuming you address the slop issue}...I think the discussion came out of a Mopar Action article a year or so ago...I remember reading the article....EDIT: I do remember one box I recieved from them where that adjuster nut was loose...It did move on the road test and I felt the slop you're describing but it was leaking out the adjuster so that was a quick give-away on that problem...
