slowly lower metals temp dow to -300* f and keep it there for 8 hrs min and warm it up slowly. makes it stronger harder more durable and removes stress risers.

Professional racers have been cryo treating thier parts that are under high stress for years,so I would try it.

when parts heat up they change shape and cause drag. pistons become oval when they get hot blocks distort also. i was thinking an engine under high boost would make more horsepower and be less prone to headgasket and mechanical failure. theres a place local to me 625$ for whole engine.
