Thinking of buying a firm feel stage II box, and a fast ratio pitman arms.
I know the long idler arm wont fit, I already had to grind a little bit on the stock one to clear the TTI headers.

Does anyone know if the fast ratio pitman arm fits on a big block b-body with TTI headers? B Engine.
The TTI website says no, but I just wanted to check, would like all the improved steering I can get.

if the idler arm doesn't ft, you cannot use the the longer ptiman arm. they must be the same length or you screw up you steering angles.

The T/A Challenger and AAR Cuda had a long pitman arm and short idler.
From Firm Feel website:
"long pitman/short idler = OK ackerman thru right hand sweep and OK ackerman up to about 20 degrees left. From ~20 degrees on out , the Ackerman gets exaggerated to ~10-12 degrees. We don't think this really adds up to very much in your overall performance driving picture, because 20 degrees is a pretty tight turn , more like a parking maneuver than anything else. But.... why not get it as good as you can get it .Conclusion; If you can ..., use the long idler."
