Default Steering questions

I recently bought a B&B Cobra replica with about 14k miles on the odo. No idea if it was built with new or donor parts, but the quality of components and the workmanship look very good to me. I have noticed that there is some slop in the steering, and it appears to be in the rack itself, which leads me to think that this was a donor part. Notaprob because I don't like the slow steering anyway.

First question: can I rebuild this stock mustang rack with quicker ratio parts, and is that scenario even worth pursuing considering the cost of a new rack?

Second question: Is the Flaming River FR1520 the fastest ratio rack that I can get? Should I be looking elsewhere? This car is light, has only a 289 and I am not too worried about the steering effort.

Third question: Should I be looking at doing anything additional while I am at it? Bumpo steer kits? Or something else that I am not even aware of at this point?

Thanx in advance for all the help that I know I am going to get.
