Cryogenic Engine Treatment..

Hmm..

Anyone know anyone that has done this, getting this done then boring out for the larger cylinders is the starting point for my buildup.

There's a company here in Utah that does it.... they say they have dyno proven results... It supposedly aligns the grain in the metal & makes it stronger / more brittle.

100% durability increase on engine blocks and 5-10% HP increase due to reduction of friction = the win, espicially at $300 for the block. The mod that keeps on giving.

Would you be treating just the block, or pistons and stuff too?

For those unfamiliar with what the cryogenic process does to metal...this has a good general write up...you have to scroll down to get to the article(not Z specific)
