underdrive crank and power steering

For those of you with an underdrive crank pulley, did you notice an increase in steering stiffness, or any changes in the steering feel?

Its just a bad idea, alot of people have done it. It sucks and is crap and they take it off.

Thanks for that great insight. Anyways, I have a 10% underdrive on my LS1 and have noticed a slight increase. I have a 25% on my third gen, and have yet to install it, but was wondering if anyone could let me know what you observed on your car. Can anyone actually answer the question?
