I like the torque generator the most, but you need a good rack in front of it.

Bill runs a complete Howe setup with the diablo rack with built in servo, 2" Ram and Sweet 1400PSI 3.5GPM pump.

I run a similar setup except I use a seperate Servo and I am in the process of converting my standard Saco rack to their Magnum Rack. These setups are the top of the line and work really well in 2500# buggys. Anybody want to buy a rebuilt Saco rack?
