After reviewing everything today about the Borgeson, I cant find one person upset with the Borgeson switch. It eliminates the PS control valve, slave cylinder, has a 12:1 ratio, a direct bolt in and half the price of a rack attack or steeroids. I do have a 6qt Moroso stroker pan and Hooker super comp sidepipes and I think the racks will be a lot more potential pain with those. I've seen several posts with guys trying to figure out how to solve header and other clearance problems as well as modifying the support brackets. So if I do decide to do a change it will probably be the Borgeson. The lock to lock improvement will be nice.
Thank you for this useful post. I did not realize you loose turning radius with a R&P set up as I was thinking about doing one. One of the things I love about the C-3 is the tight turning radius, U turn instead of 3 point. Didn't even know about Borgeson that sounds like a good route.

I am putting on Hooker side pipe headers over the winter and will watch your install closely. My power steering system needs to be redone since the car was sitting for 31 years before I got it. Rather than replacing all the worn out pieces, for a few bucks more I could upgrade to the Brogeson and just be done with it.
You can make the turning radius very tight with the right foot!
