This is for real. New type of treatment for various substances. Dynos' showing 4 hp increase on 5.0 Mustang. Course we all know that the Mustang diff is a well known power robber. Wonder what it would do for us--doing the diff and transmission? If we could get 7-9 HP wouldnt that be great.
Go to Mikronite.com for all the info.
Costs about $200 to do the diff gears.
Let the opinions begin!

you should also investigate the REM process, AWR uses it on their RX-8 road race trannies for about the same gain

I was thinking of doing my rotors with this Cryogenics.

I went to the Micronite site and it required the Adobe (read memory leak) version of Flash. That prevents me from viewing their site.
We used to see a process sold to racers for gears that was basicly a micro-polish. Drop the gears in a slurry of oil & ultrafine Aluminum Oxide & small pellets then ultrasonically polish them. Sounded good on paper it just didn't produce any dyno changes. Granted they used the process on helicopter gearboxes for longer life and a few really good papers have been published on the subject. The same papers also tell us no difference in drag.
Oil makes a big difference. Years ago when I raced Sports 2000 we found changing from 80W gear oil to 15-50W Mobil 1 resulted in a 4 HP gain. We later found the 15-50W also knocked the corners off the engagement dogs on the gears a lot faster.
Cryo treatments can offer some improvements in surface abrasion resistance on some alloys. We've seen about 10% increase in the life of 2 stroke pistons; In our case on the shifter karts they were good for 49 minutes rather then 45 minutes.
