Question Power steering question for Auto-xer's

I've been Auto-xing my Z for a few years now (on street tires) and I've gotten the car to the point where I feel like I'm fighting the power steering through the slaloms. The car has the stick and I know it can go faster, but I'm phyically fighting with it. Now that I'm planning on going to a R-compound tire I'm a little more concerned this will be a bigger problem as I can carry even more speed.

My question is, what have people done to help with this? Is there anyway to overboost the power steering pump to get a little more assist?

Thanks for any help

running R-compounds ive never had the problem.......i installed my own DIY - powersteering cooler to aid in keeping things cool, but nothing of lack of power..

Have you tried driving a fellow AutoX'rs car to see if maybe your PS pump is slowly going out in comparison to his? etc?

That's not a bad idea. I may have to see who shows up this year and see if I can sweet talk them into letting me drive their cars. =]
