Default Power Steering and Steering rack ratios

I am thinking about pulling my power steering off and to see what it is like I took off the belt and I am going to drive it like that for a while, I was wondering do the ls, gsr, or itr have different steering rack ratios. If so what are the ratios does the itr even have power steering?

Thanks, Joe

A car is so much better to drive without power steering Just take your belt off

I did take the belt off, but I also would like to get rid of some weight by removing pump, hoses. etc. Are you saying its better? Do you know anything about rack ratios

That just sounds stupid to me. Is it really worth your time to save a few pounds? You guys really like putting your muscles into it?

I took my belt off, and it isn't so bad. I wonder though if the steering rack ratios are different?
