hello. I've finished installing the steering box and I'm now on the steering arms. Question, I'm thinking I would like from the straight ahead position 1/2 to 3/4 turn at the butterfly for 35/40 degrees of wheel movement. Would this be abit to quick ?? What do you guys run ? Thanks Pete.

Thanks for the replies guys, keep em coming. I should hope that my 351W should make between 400/450hp and as long as its not too heavy should get me down to the low tens. I would be very happy if I could run a 9:90
