: What, if any, longevity benefits will result from deep cryo treatment of a new set of 3.73:1 GM 7.5/7.625" ring and pinion gears. The gear set will be exposed to very high torque input during hard drag launches on slicks! Is this a proper application for these highly-stressed gears in a rear end that is otherwise optimized for such an extreme duty purpose?

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your email.
Cryo treating gears can increase their resistance to wear 200-400% typically in a race application. We have even had customers get up to 800% longer life as a result of cryo treating theit gears.
Sincerely,
