the 2 hole S5 power racks have an intermediate ratio as well. like 17:1 or something.

i've considered a 2 hole with a 1.5 quickener to get down to 12:1 ish. (cuz i need power steering) food for thoughtz

im considering the 15.2:1 ratio with a 1.5 reducer (and a damn good p/s cooler). short wheel base rally car = lots of steering... And the distance the quickener would make might help the location of my steering wheel. i have an FC column in the FB and its almost in the dash...
