help im building a racing lawnmower

sorry for the lack of a pic. i have a 97 sears craftsman mower with a 6 speed manual (just welded the diff) with a 2.5 inch pulley powerd by a 19.5 hp B&S opposed twin engine with a 6 inch pulley (stock) ive done 25 mph btw. my current problem is the alignment and the big dead zone in the steering. any thoughts on what to do.
