Sounds good; I'll start a thread about hot-rodding the rear end. Of course everyone's suggestions and questions are welcome. Oh, and I expect to hear from you guys!

Freebeard, I'm curious - do you have any idea about the cost of those processes? I'm especially interested in the Cryogening tempering and Isotropic Superfinishing.

I'll start with some general specs I've found or measured and tear-down pics.

For now though—I'd want to rely on the stock temp output, and then characterize the performance after the following on the gearset parts:

Magnaflux to insure reliability
Cryogenic tempering to deter wear
Isotropic Superfinishing to control temperature and increase gearset efficiency
