Rack and pinion conversion in chevelle

[dipren443]

Oh....When Kyle Tucker and Detroit Speed designed there new front end for Camaros, why didnt he use the same 600 box that is supose to be so great? No....he used a rack

I don't think anyone is going to doubt that a R&P is preferred when building a custom frame, i.e. Detroit Speed. The fact of the matter is that a R&P uses fewer moving parts. They are more direct and are far more mechanically efficient.

I think the R&P retrofit kits have been subject to a bad reputation since all of the early players were peddling street rod stuff and not concerned about the actual performance and design of the whole thing. So, if someone were to bring to the table a properly engineered rack that will put up to track abuse and provide optimal geometry, I think many of the naysayers will go away.

Steeryourite, can you provide some detailed pics of the mounting bracket?



Oh, and if you can figure out how to get a rack with proper geometry into a stock framed 2nd gen Camaro, then you will definitely have my interest.
