Spent the last few days drivingthe 90GL with the PS hoses coupled but disconnected from the crank pulley and I must agree with Ken, this tired old waterboxer motorr has more pep without the drag of the ps pump. As others have reported, the stiffest part is cranking the wheel from deadstraight away when at a stop, but burning a few extra calories wrestling the wheel won't hurt me in the leat. The "feel' of the wheel doesn't seem to have been conpromised as I've been driving through hydroplane-quality rainstorms the past 2 days and felt very comfortable with the feedback the stock(ie smaller) wheel is giving me. Prolly won't buy me another 20k on this motor, but it will take some stress ofthe breaking in ofthe new one in a few weeks. Dimwitted moose and Flying Squirrel
