Loose Steering/Power Pulleys

First off I want to say this is a great site here, i've been checking it out for a week or so now and this is my first post.

To my question-
Anyone that has added the power pulleys to their car, does this also make the steering tighter, I noticed that my car is extremely easy to steer and I want to remedy this somehow. I know the pulley slows the power steering pump, so one would think the steering would get tougher. Am I correct? I dont want to invest in a $100 pulley and not have it work the way 'I' want it to. I dont mind it in parking lots, its at higher speeds that I dont like it, there tends to be a lot of kick in the wheel when you hit bumps on corners, theres not enough resistance in the wheel. Any info is greatly appretiated.

I saw NO difference in steering. I think the pumps oversized enough to compesate. I've heard of people removing the pump altogether (hybrids and radical engine mods). Maybe try that. Its free.

yeah no change in the steering. only change i got was slightly faster rev, a little more pull, and seemed to smooth the engine out slightly. some wide rims and tires could change that. correct me if im wrong.
