Default Power steering question

In the March 2002 issue of Vette magazine there is a split window coupe that has a L98 tpi motor with an internally boosted quick ratio steering box from a late model GM car.Has any body done this? Would the handling be better than the stock power setup? Which late model GM car would have a box that could bolt in? Thanks in advance

I would also like to know about changing out the steering box. I have a 67 with Powser Steering.
I read in one of the magizines this month, that Flaming River is making new boxes with the 12:1, as well as an tilt column. http://www.flamingriver.com
Is the 12:1 worth trading out the box for a new one?
