Ill keep my threads updated on how they hold out. I asked the company that i went through (nitrofreeze) how much it would increase strength, but all they said was they have never tested it. They did say they have been told it can increase gear strength by 20%+...we will see what that equates to after some hard driving
I'm pretty sure roger had a gear set of his cryo treated before moving onto an after market set. Roger is the SRT 'shop car' owner.
Sorry for the glare. Only had my cellphone outside
Slowly but surely making progress! for the rest of the day i have to finish my homework :sadbanana: And tomorrow i have class but the transmission will be finished Tuesday, and it should go in Wednesday...then a few finishing projects for completion!!!

got the gears/syncros/tranny shafts all pressed together as well as the new bearings on the LSD and final drive torqued back on!

i was talking to a few people who have them cryotreated in Az and it said it makes them stronger like you stated but I was wondering what about shot peening them. I used to work at a plant that we used to shotpeen pipes and other parts to make them stronger and then after that have them cryo treated. Its a fairly cheap process I wonder how they hold up. I know cryo add 30-40 percent and shotpeening add about 20 percent.
Not going to lie to you here, i have never heard of shotpeening before, but i am very glad to hear that other people have tried cryno treating. I researched pretty hard to find people that did it and came up with nothing. Maybe its people that do it locally and never wright about it online haha. Also if you got a full race for 350 you did good, i got mine for 425 off someone local when i had mine.
Nearly all fatigue and stress corrosion failures originate at the surface of a part,but cracks will not initiate or propagate in a compressively stressed zone. Because the overlapping dimples from shot peening create a uniform layer of compressive stress at metal surfaces, shot peening provides considerable increases in part life. Compressive stresses are beneficial in increasing resistance to fatigue failures, corrosion fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen assisted cracking, fretting,galling and erosion caused by cavitation.
