500whp or bust!

That's what I'm thinking

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.

But they are also 600+ all the time and always at the track

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!

@Spoolin_VTEC I realized that im an idiot and was trying to line up the timing marks from a k20z3 block onto the timing marks of a k20a block. They are off by 3/8ths of an inch because the k20a uses a smaller crank pulley...All is well now haha

Ksboi, yea i really like the q300, it might only be 70mm but it makes great power and the sound is awesome. Full race sounds good on a turbo car but o well 6mm isn't worth 200 more bucks in my eyes.

I actually got my Invidia for 400 and then sold it for 250 and got my FR for 350. I got nice friends.

I'm the only person that i know that has actually done it. I hear about it all over the forums and then no one actually did it yet. Its pretty cheap if it works it would be awesome!

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.
