Is there some 'magical' power supply for my power steering unit?
IT COMES FROM THE ENGINE!!! AND BY DOING SO IT DRAINS HORSEPOWER!!!

it draws power the same way everyhting else in the car does, the battery/ alternator. everything else in the car is still gonna use power from the battery and the alternator will keep working. u will gain practically no power and its really not worth it to drive around w/out power steering

THE ALTERNATOR AND EVERY DEVICE ON YOUR CAR THAT REQUIRES SOME SORT OF POWER OR ELECTRICITY...GET THAT POWER OR ELECTRICITY FROM THE ENGINE.
So, keeping any sort of device on WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AVAILABLE TO MAKE YOUR CAR GO FAST.
This is called the Law of Thermodynamics...and you can't break it.

Where does the alternator get it's power from? Is there some magical supply of electricity to the car?

where does the power come from, your altentator... your motor creates torque which goes through your driveline.. it doesnt create ******* electricity that is distributed around the car.... Altenator is a belt accessory which creates a charge which in turn maintians your battery levels and feeds power to your car.. REMOVING a god damn fuse is just going to cut power to that part of the car, that does not create LESS DRAG on the belt line.. jesus ******* christ do you really think pulling a fuse will decrease the amount of power its going to turn the drive line..

Yes, it was a serious question. The fuse is in the engine compartment and I seriously want to know how much horsepower my power steering is sucking.
I already got a bit more power by pulling the fuse on my daytime running lights (mandatory in Canada).
I have a stage 2 and occasionally run 110 octane racing fuel. Ive reduced my weight in every imaginable way and am looking for another edge.
I was hoping someone here had an answer, but I'm obviously wasting my time. I'll call my GM service person.

If youe thinking its going to get you a little then put it back in to drive home, your stacking hairs in the wrong place.
If you say lighten as much as possible, I wanna see pics of a gutted interior, no radio, no speakers, and a lightweight racing seat.
Trying to get the n-th degree of HP from a fully functional car is absolutly pointless.
Also good way to burn your bridges before you even get started, if you think a GM service person is going to have the answer. There are a lot more people and a lot more knowledge on here than you will ever find at a dealership.
So next time take it with a grain of salt and powe your question in a manner that doesn't portray you as a cocky jerk, and you'll find the answer amonst the ones that dont know but feel the need to post anyways.
To those that can't seem to be bothered with finding factual information and just like to ad fuel to the fire.
Either help explain why its wrong or incorrect, ignore it, or shut the hell up.

You'd be better off removing the motor off the column, you'd save more weight, suckers heavy, and then pull the fuse so it doesnt see the motor missing.
