Looks like new toys will be arriving Monday.

I have read some more on some of the auto cross web sites where guys crank up the Saginaw P1 relief pressure to as high as 1,500psi.
They want smooth, responsive and easy steering. Being able to whip the steering wheel back and forth as easily as if the other end is stuck in a jar of mayo on a cloud and being able to turn it off or use it as much as I need is very tempting.
It just costs a lot. Realistically for a clutched pump, and big GPM hydraulic relief valve is $900. So that's why I am not likely going to do that.
