I would talk to these guys since they offer several ratios.

If you plan on driving it much, I would stick with the stock ratio.  It is a little hard to turn when you are stopped, but once you start moving it is real nice.

Looks like the factory one I have in the Challenger, just cleaner.

The factory ones were all aluminum housings.
