I sat in a dirt track car with all the wings... Sorry, I'm not one to know the name of that type racing...Smaller pulley increases flow rate only - it does nothing for additional pressure until you get to the point you overwhelm the relief valve (and the pump probably cavitates before then).
Smaller pulley is an OK idea when including hydroboost and you want enough flow for both the steering and the brakes. But in most cases, its just sapping power.
I learned to drive on F100 4x4 with FE and manual steering/brakes; I had to have the seat close enough that I could properly muscle the wheel and brakes. No sitting so far back that I could barely touch the bottom of the steering wheel with finger tips. @holyford86 - I'm not saying you do, but when I was teaching my kid's friends to drive manual, there were a lot that sat back far enough to be able to text.
Anyway, I was really surprised at how upright and close to the steering wheel you are. Its almost a standing position. And after thinking about it, it makes sense as you have better control and won't get tired as quick.
