Who's running manual steering on the street?

My P/S pump leaks like a sieve and I've got a manual rack from my long gone 4cyl. capri. I didn't mind the manual steering (in fact I felt like I had way more control) on the capri but it only had a 4cyl above it, how bad is it with a V8? I'm pretty strong so I don't think it would be to bad. Who's running it right now?

I run manual steering on mine and I also feel I have more control and it is more stable under high mph. I run skinnies up front so getting in and out of parking spaces isn't bad, but I can't imagine doing that with some 245/45's up front, that might be a little hard.

I just swapped to manual brakes also, they aren't as bad as I thought they would be either, just a stiffer pedal.
