steering rack questions

I just gutted my fox motor and tranny to start the 5.0 build and i was wondering what are the thoughts on a manual steering rack vs quick ratio manual steering rack vs power steering for a street strip car?

I would keep the power steering but thats just me. If your a bigger guy that can handle it then it shouldn't be a problem.
