Absolutely moves the grain structure in the metal making stronger and less prone to fatigue. Call Wanye @ Indy Gear he can help you out.

Is the cryo treatment the same as the old way of dropping the gears in dry ice solution for 24 hours?

Liquid nitrogen (-320*F) is far colder than dry ice (-109*F)
