I'd be concerned about the amount of effort required just to hold the wheel during a sweeper. Of course, an easier ratio would help but would also mean less responsiveness, and it might be harder to negotiate turns on short courses or autocrosses.

Once I disonnected my pump and it took a lot of effort just to keep the wheel in place during a medium speed turn. Besides, don't the Nascar boys use p/s pumps?
