Power steering help!!!???!!!

Okay so im getting to install my supercharger and im debating eaither A) removeing the PS, B) converting to the Si electric ps, or c) Im wondering how fast i would have to turn the powerstearing pump to maintain ps? Does anyone happen to know how fast i would have to turn it via a 12v motor? Or know where the heck i could find out?

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

Well just looking at the pulleys, it turns at least 1.5x the engine speed. so with a K20, you're lookin at 13000 RPMS or more. I'd just do the EPS conversion.

C Orndorff is an unknown quantity at this point

I got a 2004 EP3 EPS rack on eBay for only $28 + Shipping (in great shape) also i got the EPS control box for about $50 on ebay. I still need the motor (honda sells it for $200 New) Also i don't even know if i want to get the motor because the steering feels good even without it. No dumb Hydro lines.
