Default Gen 1 camaro quick ratio steering box? Who makes the best one?

Hey guys, my steering box died on me and I'm trying to see who makes the best quick ratio box. I would prefer it to not be to expensive but does anyone have personal experience with a particular box? If so let me know.

You could send your current box to Lee Manufacturing and have the rebuild it to quick ratio specs and firm valving. I'm very satisfied with mine and it was a quick turn around time.

We've been using the boxes from Turn One with great success. Hard to explain the improvement over the commonly available boxes. http://www.turnone-steering.com/
