I think thats pretty much it. Though mine with 235s in front actually contacts the frame before any steering components. And mine is a 67 so it has stops on the control arms/spindles similar to an A body. I cant count the amount of times I'm actually at full stop on the wheel per year on one hand. I have a GTA box Ive been meaning to swap it, but you have to remove the header and Im lazy.

I havent checked this, but Im assuming the borgeson unit would have A body like radius.

With the Fbodies I think they continually got a narrower radius as tires got more aggresive. Cullminating with like the IROC cars that are down to like 64 degrees or something like that. Then again, an IROC definetely handles better than a 1970 Chevelle. So is the extra 5 degrees of turning radius really worth anything?
