cryo treating

Hey guys, im thinking about either changing my block over to a stock terminator block, or keeping the aluminum one and going with cryotreatment.


I just emailed the company for pricing info, but wanna see what you guys think first. Let me know... i wanna do the best for my mach, and nothing less. ( looking at pushing between 700-800whp and wanting it to be safe)

Re: cryo treating

Polydyn.com...There in Houston where I'm at. Heard good things about them but I have no experience with them...YET...lol. A local respectable shop uses them with they're race cars and like them. I don't wanna say the shop's name just in case there might be some improper info.

Re: cryo treating

Wouldn't it help the heads and pistons though? Whats a good company for sleeving aluminum blocks? Is it worth sleeving the "TEKSID" block if your shooting for around 1000 HP ?

Re: cryo treating

Might help the limp Rods .. .but for the price of the treatment ,new stronger rods would be a better investment!

Where do you guys come up with this stuff?
Thanks for being so nice about it...

What could i do to make my engine block stronger, to safely holy around 800whp?
