Does anyone else have cryo treated parts on their FD?
Back when I was full time at Gotham we used a cryo facility in Dallas, and I made countless runs to that place with a truck full of parts.
The parts on my FD currently cryoed:
Slotted brembo brake rotors
all tranny synchros
Power Plant Frame
Lightweight Flywheel
I think that's it. All parts have about 9k miles on them, and I have yet to road race the car with the current setup, so the jury is still out. I had them all done for next to nothing, so I figured it couldnt hurt. Now I'm wondering if cryoing a spare set of stock rear axles wouldnt have been a bad idea.
Anyway, if any one else has any feedback or input, feel free to post away

I'm also a little curious about this. I've been looking at these Powerslot rotors but wasn't convinced that a cryo-treatment is worth an additonal 30%.

I have heard nothing but good things about the cryo system...I would love to do some testing on some other parts as well...
The axles sound like a gread idea though... I dont see what it would hurt...

Theres a guy in my city that has cryo treated apex seals and housings. The guys at pinapple racing i guess gave a huge extension on their warrentees if you had the parts cryo treated. So it appears they have experience with it and its positive at least.
Only has 7000 miles on the motor but the motors still runs!

That's an awsome process... good read up too thanks for the link Mahjik.
People should just cryo their entire 7 so they don't overheat as easily =P

I was hoping for some more personal experiences/testimonials......I've had these parts on my FD for over 2 years now. I didn't realize I was such a pioneer

I've used several sets of cryo treated rotors with no difference in wear noted. IOW they crack just as fast as any non treated good iron rotor when road racing.

I'd consider cryo'ing a few key parts like rotors, housings, brake rotors, and maybe tranny internals. The challenge is that seemlingly every automotive part is made of a slightly different material, and what works on one kind of brake rotor may have no practical improvement on another.

I thought you were the guy taking all the parts to be treated ? ? ? I would think the parts were more for racing pourposes than street use. Then again we all know how racing stuff finds it's way into street use.

I read a paper on the treating of turbo chargers for tractor pull people ,high end .They found that the double and tripled staged setups were lasting an un real amount of run time compaired to untreated .
