rack and pinion...power or non?

It's all personal preference

I got the power rack. Mainly cuz my wife drives the car occasionally, though since the new motor went in she's afraid of it.
Ask yourself how you are going to drive it.
I once watched an interview with a F1 driver, Arie Lyundyke I think. He said that he never used powersteering in his race cars. His theory was that the other guys that were used to power steering would not be able to finish a race if the PS pump went out, and he'd have and edge over them.
If your building a track car this may be something to consider.
You have to love the simplicity and lack of crap hanging off the front of the engine with manual steering.
If your young, have a limited budget and can hack it go manual. Put the money in HP or traction.
As for Me, I'm old and my wife has my nutz in her purse so I got PS and AC.

the onyl reasons i would use power steering are;

1: i also install hydroboost power brakes.

2: the car came with power steering

3: i am driving a full size truck, especially if i am doing a fair amount of towing.

4: if i ever get married(if i do please shoot me) and the wife will drive the car.

Whick Rack did you get? Any problems with the install or with the turning radius?

Randalls Rack.
Install went flawless. The turning radius is less than original. It doesn't bother me though because of the way I drive my car. I blast down the back country roads around here, and occasional trips to the strip. If I did a lot of parking lots or city driving it might bother me.

I have big block so I got power rack.
