Thoughts on lightened ring gears?

nhramnl · 01-17-2020, 07:44 AM

OK, so the consensus is that lightened ring gears are not of any value. How does everyone feel about the other available ring and pinion treatments, cryo, shot-peening and micro-polishing (which MW calls Supra-Fin)? I'm going to make a gear change before spring, and think I'll opt for cryo treatment, but that will be it. Any strong evidence to change my plan?

Most are shoot penned in production at some phase.
