I don't think you should dismiss cryo-treated stuff so easily. Heat treating is a common way to change the characteristics of metal, so I don't see how it would be much of a stretch that maybe cryo-treating it would do something also. I would like to see independent data showing what it did before I spend money on it though.

If you still have time, CANCEL THAT LOOPLINE!!! Unless you plan on taking out your P/S and A/C, the loopline is useless. They drill two holes in your motor (when my shop fired up the engine all the oil squirted out!) and even if you plug them up with a bolt (better get the thread right or you'll cross thread your block!) you still can't have the A/C and P/S because they won't sit flush against the engine with the bolt sticking out! I learned my lesson...DON'T GET THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT JUST BECAUSE THE OPTION IS THERE!

The only you could do is make a custom bracket to hold for your A/C and P/S to the right and have a hole in it so the loop line can go through. If you can't immagine what I'm telling you, then DON'T GET THE KIT! Luckily for me I was able to plug both holes up with a special nut with an indented area for an Allen wrench so it sealed the hole and was flush with the block, allowing me to put the A/C and P/S back where it should be.

Call Rob and talk to him about it ASAP!
Looks like your mechanic, didn't know how to install the loop line. baddog is right just cut an L shape off the lower right hand coner of the bracket and used 5 washer between the bracket and the block. pineapple supplies all of the fittings except the -10 lines and 90% ends. Also you will need to get a larger belt.

i talked to joel about the lightened rotors. i wasn't interested, but saw it on the page and asked. they're mainly for n/a track cars. so they wouldn't do us much good. i'm sure others know more on the subject, but from talking to joel, not for us. hope this helps.
