Stiffen the steering?

Stiffen the steering?
Was wondering if anyone know the steering can be stiffen/tighten for better road feel and control, esp during acceleration. As is, mine feels looser than I would like and a bit out of control during acceleration (probably due to torque steer). Just wondering if it would be possible or if wider tires would help? Thanks.

Really can't go wider..no room. I take it you have a non SS, in which case the easiest way is to change out the steering wheel for a SS wheel. Its smaller in dia.It doesn't change anything exect the force necessary to turn the wheel..but you have to watch because it also will turn jst a tad faster because your hands will be following a smaller arc...easy to get used to. Another bennie is, now you can have a leather wrapped wheel!

I thought it to be stiff enough for the vehicle it controls..quick on response but definitly not a one finger wheel...maybe a bit twitchy under full power, but thats mainly the front searching for traction.
