Why would you want to increase steering effort? Most people want to decrease it.

I like it better out on the highway without power steering. It's just sharp turns at low speeds that suck.

I noticed that using a crank underdrive pulley made my steering a little tighter. You could have a PS underdrive pulley made to make the PS spin even slower and increase the stiffness a little more. Running a thicker fluid like Lucas PS stuff would help too, but I don't know if it would blow out the pump if you just ran it straight.

You're thinking about when the PS is eliminated or bypassed. Increasing the steering effort with shims and pulleys won't make a huge difference when stopped, but it will make the steering feel tighter at speed, which can greatly help to reduce over correcting in a bad situation.

That's why that spring and valve are there. Ever notice how much easier it is to turn the wheel at a stop, versus at-speed?
