so is firm feel a good box for a power steering dally driver or what? i'd like to hear all the pros and cons to this set up or is there anything else on the market better
 
I have one in my car and love it. I think they have 3 stages and mine is a stage 2. I think it is a great investment.
 
I have the stage one in my daily driver '64 convertible, and love it. Others suggested getting the stage two, but I'm glad I didn't. I think it would have been too heavy for a mostly stock cruiser, and out here on the plains I have no need for canyon-carving capabilities.

The steering effort, centering, and response are very similar to a modern car, and nothing like the typical old Mopar.
 
I had Stage II and I could turn the wheel with one finger. I upgraded to Stage III and reduced the PS pump pressure (Mopar Action trick). The car has really good road feel and it is still easy to park. I can turn the wheel with one hand easily. It's only a little harder than most new cars. I would go with Stage III.
 
Mine steers really easy, with one finger on the wheel sitting still.
I don't mean one finger between the spokes either, I mean on the foam.
The one thing that freaks me out a little is that it is very high geared.
If you sneeze you probably just changed lanes, but I kinda like that also.
It's funny to watch other people drive it as they seem to constantly over correct and end up weaving back and forth in the lane.

Just makes me wonder what an 80 mph tire blowout might end up causing is all.

What is yours exactly
 
i think im going to order firm feels stage 2 gear the only other Question is, is the pitmen arm from my stock demon able to just mount right up or are the splines different
 
Firm Feel and Steer & Gear sell upgraded rebuilt stock boxes. That means all the stock equipment (pitman arm, power steering hoses, input shaft coupler) bolt right up.

Definitely can relate, I have the typical power steering overkill unit in my car, one could steer my car with their nose hair. Took a little getting use to at first, might be tense going down the quarter mile track with it.
