One of my favorite things to discuss is cryogenic processing. I love when someone tells me I tried that a couple years ago and it didn't work. Well, a couple years ago you ran your computer with dos.....cryogenic processing ain't what it use to be! Additionally, all cryo is not the same! There are new machines,(very important), new programing available, and unlimited control over the process. Some new machines never directly expose the parts to the liquid nitrogen. It even has cause some manufactures to say their parts are already cryo'd. OK, but was it done correctly? Ask what machine was used, old it is, and how long did the process take. Ask questions. ( you can't cryo a part, correctly, in less than 3 days -72 hours-).We've developed programs that have eliminated roller lifter breakage in Pro Stock, eliminated valve spring breakage, eliminated timing chain stretch, and done a very good job with rear end gears and stock stamped steel rockers, among other parts that fail. I will tell you that dry ice in a bucket isn't used, and that all parts are treated with different programs, and, I can make your high speed drill bits last 10 times longer - guaranteed. JB.
