Power Steering Horse Power Loss?
I know I've seen this question brought up before, but I can't seem to find it. The question is how much horse power is lost when running power steering? I have never ran it, but a handful of people in my area say they would never go back after running it. Obviously any advantage a driver can get in the corners is a plus, but at what horse power loss? Is it an all around gain/loss/indifferent?
I personally run on multiple size DIRT tracks with different degree bankings under 1/2 mile, but I would assume the question still applies to paved tracks.
Also, I mostly run a 2.3 stock rod, hydraulic head, no port, no polish locally, but also occasionally run the KMSA races with a 2.3, 5.7 rod, full port/polish open head. Would power steering be better/worse/indifferent between the different motors. I currently run manual rack with quickener.
Anyone with experience with these matters, please respond. Thanks!
