To power steer or not to power steer
Hi, I wanted to know if taking off my power steering belt would help any, and if so, how much?

I dunno, I took the belt off and TOTALLY felt a difference. When do you things all together like advance the timing, remove ps belt, etc. you will almost definitely see a positive change.
