Introduction and New Project '71 C10

[BigMike]

Did you wind up going with the CPP 500 steering box? If so let me know how it does. Been looking at theirs for a while. Mine is 4 1/2 from lock to lock so when it gets sideways I usually wind up facing the wrong way because the box can't keep up...lol.

Video of drop install went fast, looks quite a bit better, good thing the whole group is related to the Flash.

What did the AGR box run? I like the sound of the 12:1 ratio.
