I know some of you use power steering. What pumps are yall using with factory rack, steering boxes, and econo or saco, or wright racks? I am running a econo rack and char lynn torque generator,,,with factory subaru pump and am told the howe pump is much better,,,matter of fact I witnessed this to be true but am not sure if it is just my pump is a little weak :?

I've got a couple more pumps if you want to try a different one to see if yours is junk.
