[QUOTE="d_daffron, post: 717201, member: 4983"] From what I understand of hydraulics, how hard it is to turn the wheels is mostly determined by the pressure of your pump and the displacement of your ram. The volume of your orbital will make it take less turns lock to lock but not really affect the overall system power much. It does affect the amount of leverage the steering wheel has over the tires but thats such a small amount of force (a few ft/lbs vs 1,000+ psi) that it really doesnt matter. The only negative going to the larger orbital could cause is the higher volume orbital may be able to move the fluid faster than the pump can supply the fluid. The actual time to turn he wheels lock to lock would not change but it could feel slower because the steering wheel gets hard to turn when you turn faster than the pump can supply fliud. My new setup is a fairly large orbital (200ml) with a stock CB pump and a 2.75" PSC double ended ram and low speed steering is amazing. The high speed steering Is decent but not great due to the stock pump not being able to keep up with the volume demand of the 2.75" ram. It sounds like your PSC pump wouldnt have that problem though.
