Firm Feel stage 3 is an awesome - car response is great and modern feeling
I went with the Borgeson after ditching the FF rebuild. Mostly I went with the Borgeson unit because it was much smaller and I wanted more space for headers. Also, my car has hydroboost so I wanted more room for hydraulic adapters and what-not. The Borgeson box requires a little adapting to fit it to the steering column though. I think I had to buy or adapt a Flaming River u-joint to match the steering shaft splines to the Borgeson splines. I would rather have kept the factory slip-joint instead of a u-joint, but it feels great.
Either way, you'll probably want to spend some time shimming the PS pump to get just the right feel. There's a famous article at Mopar Action on how to accomplish this:

My Valiant has a FF stage 3. It's great!
Have you considered switching to a different ratio manual box? Flaming river boxes are 16:1, same as the OE fast ratio boxes. The standard OE manual boxes are 24:1. Firm feel can also build you a box with a 20:1 ratio. Easier to fit the manual box, you can keep the steering coupler you have, and you won't have to change all of your pulleys either. Just a thought.

I'm using a Borgeson P/S with stock coupler.
There's no reason anymore these days to have that big lump of castiron on the K-member.

Thanks for all replies you guys are awsome!
Sounds like everybody who has the borgeson is happy / I did hear something from a senior guy at stear and gear - not a unbiased opinion If I get some time tomorro I will do some more research
