what steering box is best and lightest

[stockcar5]

The 2007 on up gm 3/4 and 1 ton trucks use the 600 delphi box. Not sure if the bolt pattern is usable or not. Youll need a different pitman arm also. Might be worth a look into if it's legal for you.

Have you tried the 12:1 600 series w/ a quickner? How about the other two drivers. Just curious whats so much better.

Yes I drove a car with one last year
car steered hard in the pits, and on track if you had to really turn the car quick.
that could have been power steering pump related though.
I still like the 6:1-8:1 700 series.
just personal preference I guess.

Thanks for the feedback. We have a 600 12:1 w/ 2:1 quickner. Almost wish it was a little quicker sometimes!

According to Sweets website, there is only one pound of weight difference. That would be hard to justify spending another $1400. I know plenty of racers using Sweets 700 series box ($750) with no complaints.

Sorry didn't mean to ignore you . Both said the feel of the track was better , less slop . The other part of this is one less thing to break when quickener is eliminated . Have seen 2 of these break ( the lightweight ones ) . If you do run a quickener I'd recommend the Howe Stealth . I have cars running quickeners and it works , so its your choice .

The 600 series box is NOT IMCA legal... which is why I have two of them for sale. Both are Sweet 12:1 .185 servo and were used with 2:1 quickner. Loved them, and would go back in a heartbeat if I could. Had no reason to switch other than IMCA. Still for sale. Message me if interested.

what t-bar are you guys running with the 8:1 or 6:1 boxes? I feel like mine is a little heavy at mid-corner.
