It's not a quicker ratio , it allows an extension of the steering arc before it goes to lock.
You can turn more, basically without bottoming out the stops.
The gears inside the steering rack are responsible for the quickness of the steering.
Have you ever drifted a solid axle v8 car? Ever wish you could get a deeper angle before spinning out?
That's what this does, disregards most of the rear suspension articulation by getting the fronts a wider steering range to compensate motion control.

Ahh now I understand how and why one would want to do this but how does it effect alignment and the rest of the geometry of the suspension?
It's a fairly easy mod as I have a good friend who is god's gift to welding and fabrication so I am wondering if I should go for it?

if you wanted quicker steering you could try to fit in a steering quickener, though that require taking apart the interior and modding the steering column. like this one...

i would say if your going to do it put it on the upward side of the p/s pump. It will weigh down the steering, but will be worth it for the extra feel. It's very do able but requires that you disassemble the interior and remove the steering column, then cut out a section to weld in the new "transfer case". one more note... make sure you find a good/solid mounting point for the steering quickener. I know it sounds like a lot, but it's about the same amount of effort to modify the knuckles. Good luck. Also if you decide to do it PWETTY PLEASE right a very detailed DIY and let us know what you think
P.S. If I remember correctly somebody built a drift sc300 and did this mod to it, if you search you might find it. that would probably be really helpful.

Doesn't help steering feel. If anything, it introduces some slop as the gears wear. It's not a substitute for a proper steering rack but far cheaper to replace and much easier than trying to retrofit another rack. Always wondered if any of the other Toyota racks had a quicker ratio and would bolt up....
