Well I checked out the web site link posted above pretty closely. You can't read the "data graphs" but it appears that the cryo engines achieved more horse power. This ASSUMES of course the test was done with identical engines and no prejudice. I found no conclusive scientific data on the site itself to determine HOW MUCH strength\wear benefit you get (or even how much h.p. was gained).
I have no doubt you do get some benefit, in wear and apparently horse power gains (that was new to me)!!! Wish I could nail down how much at what rpm at dollar cost per horse power etc.
An impressive list of articles, what the articels actually say remains a mystery, but it IS an impressive list! Those "science guys" are GOOD at what they do, I wonder what they concluded? Great benefit? Some benefit? Worth the price of admission? Would they be able to offer "real world" information on a racing engine application?
Noteworthy customer list! Next time I'm building a $50K NASCAR motor to the max and looking for ANY advantage I can find (cost being no object) I think I'll have it cryoed tanked!
Probably good stuff this cryo thing! I look at horse power per dollar vs reliabilty per dollar vs my budget. The jury is still out.........
Ah, I'm probably to skeptical. My "X" IS a research chemist, she taught me to question EVERYTHING until you get it in the lab and prove the results. The "lab" in this case could in fact be "Daytona"!
