You only need PS if you have a bunch of castor dialed in because your camber curves are wrong.

Wait, I answered my own question.

Nevermind.
I have power steering because it is faster than the original manual gear. Caster is only 5.5 but with a small wheel and 1 turn lock to lock it is a necessity. When I bought my car I was strong enough to throw the wheel and grab it again when it reached the correct angle. Those days are in the distant past now. I have an Appleton rack and GM pump that work perfectly in my application. I have used it at Laguna Seca, autox and on the street.
It is lightly boosted but essential to our autox competition. If you watch a video of Scott driving my car you will see very quick wheel corrections, sometimes as much as 25 steering degrees in his autox runs.
