I have a 2.75 rack on mine and it isn't too fast at all.

I don't know if they're all the same but the Capri racks I've seen have a much longer splined shaft where the column flexible
coupling fits.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

A 2.25 rack on a 10" steering wheel might be a bit heavy for road use but probably ok for racing. I have just changed my 2.4 for a 2.9 (Escort
rack) as I found it hard work on long runs.
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

My Striker has a 2.2 rack with a 260mm steering wheel and it's superb! It can be a bit lively at times, but goes exactly where you point it! 
Spin 'er off Well...

If the rack ball joints on the capri are not the same distance as the escort rack (if correctly positioned) you will get bump steer.
