rack & pinion

Okay, I have been looking at all sorts of cars to be my next GL project ... and now I am reconsidering my stance to bypass the Super Beetle as a platform. I know there have been some threads about swapping a R&P unit into a pre-1975 model year Super, even into a 1302. I may even have some printed stuff from before I bought my '71 1302.

My question now is more geared towards racers and those who have worked (or played) with racers as they may have a leg up on this. If I were to get a '75 1303 that already has R&P steering, what would be the process of determining if I should get a modified steering unit and how does one go about having it installed (assuming the answer is, "Yes, it would be a good idea.")?

(I think I remember them being called "quick steer units.")
