Default cryo treating your 5 speed

I wanted to know if anyone here has cryogenic treated there 5 speed to help make it stronger. Is it something thats worth doing if you plan to do a turbo install?

Maybe the 5th gear set, but the whole transaxle would be overkill for a low power (few hundred HP) setup.

cryo treating and shotpeening the tranny bell housing and its innards would help greatly in increasing tranny durability, and reducing internal tranny failure.



a stronger bell housing would be helpful in case a 400hp engine grenades its clutch from unbalanced centrifugal force
