im not running forged pistons

 

the type s pistons are forged but htey have the low friction coating on the skirts so its all good.....

normal uncoated forged pistons will result in aluminum block soup

 

what is cryo treating anyway? what are the benifits of treating parts? thanx for the info from a guy still learning

 

ahh, just found a site on it. makes sense, but rotors?

Cryogenic treating is freezing a part with liquid nitrogen or helium to bring it down as close to the liquid temperature of the element you're using as possible and then allowing the part to return slowly back to ambient temperature. The basic result is that the molecular structure tightens as the item is frozen, and stays tight as it's brought back to it's normal temperature, so that the item is, in fact, stronger than it was originally. This is especially useful on parts that don't have maybe the right design or alloy construction for high output applications from the factory, such as transmission parts, crankshafts, connecting rods, and anything else that you want to make sure the internal structure is as strong as it possibly can be.

 

yep, rotors, increasing the surface strength of the metal on the molecular level will make them more resistant to warping and wear.

 

thanks! unfortunately in my area, knowledgable shops are very rare. i noticed that your from the hampton area. the scene happening around there? i'm really considering moving to VA because of the shops, shows, & intelligent people. the NW PA area is a real dump for jobs & my car takes a beating

 

There really isn't a "scene" in Hampton. It's the same as anywhere, there's some knowledgable people without the funds to open a shop, and there's some people wanting to rip you off that cater to ricers and have shops open employing mediocre mechanics. So far, the best east coast place I've found for true performance enthusiast people has been in NC, and that's because all the people I know do their own work, have their own tools, or know where to get them as well as work space. Basically, the only way I would recommend people take thier cars to shops is if I owned one.

 

you should open up a shop then give a "special discount" to those of us here on the HA board :naughty:
thanks for the non-post info
