I have S&G Stage 2 boxes in two of my cars, I am pleased with them but then again I'm not doing any road course racing. I swapped cores with them at Carlisle so there was no core or shipping charges which kept cost down. Only problems I had was with their crappy rubber slip on boot which takes place of the crimp setup on the coupler. Two of them split in short order, went back to the clamp/crimp setup and it's been fine since. Bill, on your next build step up to a FF Stage 3, the difference between S&G's highest "performance" box build and FF Stage 3 is a day and night comparison, and you don't need to autocross to appreciated the improved steering/feeling/response

Most of my S&G decision was based on cost, meeting them at their swap meet spot was convenient. I would consider them in the future. I can only report on S&G though based on my experience with them.

Years ago, I had put a stage 2 Steer & Gear in my 73. It wasn`t much firmer then stock if at all. Plus I sent my old one in to get rebuilt and they sent me back a different box. Yeah, if you want your original parts back, don't use Steer and Gear (someone out there now has my original AAR Cuda p/s pump on their car ). I will never use Steer and Gear again.
