Does anybody have experience with cyrogenetic's ?

I have a well known corvette guy willing to cyro my entire rear drivetrain for free. He wants to use me as a ginue pig/ sales pitch. I have more power left and my current rear is the weak link.

Any suggestions ?

Mike

i believe the basis behind cryo'ing a rear end would be to allow all the molecules in the steel to conform together in a more uniform pattern. This "should" result in a more durable rear end. Or am i completely off my rocker on this one? Have to discuss this further with the structural engineers at my lab job and get back to you just going off memory here.

You don't have enough power to break things yet. It's when you constantly break something that it should be tested.

NASCAR started freezing the gears in the trannies and were able to get more than one race out of them.

If he wants to do it for free, why question it?

well i still have to take it out, pay shipping both ways. I was just looking for some input. I hate to take it out have it done and then worry about it still breaking all the time ? It cost 1K for the D-44, take the one out that i have , install the new ( used) one and never worry about it.

Thanks
Mike
