Anybody know if the supposed gains are myth or fact? Anybody get any parts cryo treated?

 

I heard and saw this before on TLC long time ago. The part I saw was they where treating an engine block, piston, crankshaft, etc on a streetbike. They said by doing this they can change molecular structure, which in result of stronger parts and increase in performance....

 

I'm thinking about getting this done for my rotors...

 

I don't think there would be any direct performance gains from this treament. It would however make a stronger motor/part that could take more power. Basically you are "forging" the metal and getting rid of any microscopic flaws in the crystal lattice of the metal. Its the same thing you do to your brakes and motor (heating and cooling cycles) to break them in but on a much acclerated scale. The heating and cooling cycles help get rid of pent up stresses in the metal. Supercooling can do this in one very cold step.

 

I have brake rotors for my Explorer that have this. I got them from:

A big improvment on my truck. Had them over a year, & they still look brand new.

 

interesting topic...

I declare this a

moment.
