From my very limited knowledge on the topic, the cryo treatment is best used for parts that had a bad heat treatment, or have an irregular crystal pattern. If your parts dont have a defective matrix, a bad heat treat or irregular grain size; cryo wont buy you anything.

But I am not an expert and I am sure there is a metallurgist on this site that will come jump my **** with AWS/ASTM/ASME standards and links.

I agree with George on it being a waste of money however.

Gotcha! I was just doing some reading on the subject, but have never really heard of anyone using it, or even mention it?..... I wonder if I Cryo treat my money would it last longer?....

LOL at first i thought you meant the LSA crank.

I run the LSA crank in my 370. Obviously I don't have that many miles, but it's holding up well so far. I have always had a lot of faith in the factory GM parts, and this being a forged upgrade it seems like a great option! It's also lighter than the stock crank, so that helps with the rotating assembly weight slightly.

Yeah... I think I'm gonna buy one! I found them for $460 online. Who set your converter up for you? And what flex plate are you running?

I am also running a stock LSA flax plate.

$460 is a bargain! Where did you find that?
