Default how many peeps running P/S

wanted to know how many of you are running P/S for lapping events?
I removed mine over the summer, now im thinking about putting it back on.
It seems like whenever i drive a car with P/S still on i get my turn in's alot smoother, but in my
car without the P/S it feels like im a little sketchy and have a harder time trying to get it turned in smooth.

And how many think the P/S pulley really benifit?
thanks for any info.

tough decision, considering it takes about a minute to install/remove the belt

jason- who likes p/s for the street, but hates it for the track...

See the thing is. my first lapping event will be this summer, so im trying to decide if it
would be ggod for me to run this at least once at a track event and see how its feels..

And on the street i really dont need it that much, but i wont know until june if i'll need it for the track.

i also put everything on, just gotta get another belt and fluid.

I still have P/S and have thought of taking it off but for the street its nice to have and as for the track this year....

I think I'll take it off a week before the track event so i can get used to it somewhat.

I'VE had mine off since summer, so i would more than likely be ok at the track if i've been without it this long right?

But when i did have it on it seemed as if my tail end would swing out easier also(when my shocks where set stiff)with the P/S. my set-up(suspension)
skunk2 coil-overs/kyb agx shocks
Fr/Rr upper strut bars
Rr lower tie bar
Rr bushings
stock ls Fr/Rr swaybars

plan to upgrade
benen Fr lower tie bar
skunk2 or ITR Rr sway bar w/beaks kit
and maybe Fr lower control arm bushings
keep stock ls Fr swaybar

Im with you man I took it off for a week, then lifted my skirt and tossed that SOB back on. Parallel parking every day without PS is no fun!

SEE this is not a problem for me... i've had cars before without it, so it's no big deal about that. im just trying to decide
about it for track use and some auto-x(maybe)

Took mine off a while ago. Like 2 months. Was bad at first but the trick is to move a little when turning. Turning without moving is bad for your tires.
