It is the only way to go especially if you have a fast rack, the stock Cobras were something like 22 to 1, my current ratio is 12 to 1 and it is perfect for autox or even track events. I run a GM pump with separate reservoir and a modified Appleton rack with low boost, plenty of feed back and very responsive.
I had to make new ends to the rack to get the tie rod length correct and to position the rack so that the stock steering shaft would work.
