Smile Cryogenic Treatment for Gear Sets?

Has anyone ever tried this on their transmission gears? It seems pretty cheap to do, rather than buy expensive aftermarket gears. I found this site and it has some good information on it. Anyone ever try cryo? What were your results? Or am I just better off getting new gears?

I'm not sure if cryogenic was the treatment but one of my Mustang mags treated an 8.8 gear set.

On a dynojet chassis dyno they had a 6hp improvement. Surprisingly no temperature difference but it obviously frees up some friction.

It was a good test. Brand new Ford racing gears vs brand new Ford racing gears that were treated.

Like I said. Don't remember the name of the treatment but the treated gears looked like they just came from the chrome plating shop.

Lots of money for freeing up 6 hp but this is one modification that has ZERO drawbacks unlike deep gear ratios, big cams or high compression.
