Why, Borgenson boxes don't have any slop. Right? That's why folks throw out their C3 steering system to go to a Borgeson unit. Right?
Maybe.....there's something amiss in the rest of the steering system! There's a lot more possibility for that then being in the steering box--Borgeson or Saginaw.

You shouldn't have to adjust a new box

Yup...make sure the caster is set per borgesons recommendation, and use their rag joint. 
ps; Borgeson had great CS last time I called them...so you could give them a ring.

Did you follow up on any of the points listed in this old post.
How is your rage joint?
What condition is the front end, ball joints, tire rods, control arm bushings?
What condition is the rear suspension?
what pressure and flow is coming from your power steering pump?

Amazing how many people were ragging on the OP for this.
I also had a loose set screw on my rag joint that was causing a slight play in one direction shortly after first installing it.
It has a quicker ratio than stock, and it's new - so it will have less play than an original, non-blueprinted box. But it will still have some play - and more if it's not properly installed or adjusted.
