Default P/S control valve

is there a way to adjust a 66 control valve to make my p/s less powerfull? odd to decrease the power i know but its to easy too oversteer at high speeds.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but I have since switched to manual steering.

The only way I could think of would be to reduce the amount of fluid volume going into the ram. If connected a ball valve to the high pressure line on the PS pump then perhaps by reducing the area by closing the valve there would be less work being done by the ram.

I though it over pretty fast and never really took a close look at how it all works I fear I am overlooking a major factor that would prevent this from working but It still might I dont know?

Perhaps someone else may have a better idea
