Quoted for truth. Although you can get decent life if you aren't drag racing at every life.

If you have the option (TRE cough), shot peening stuff really helps strengthen the metal.

Basically, by shot peening metal, internal compressive stress areas are formed which work against the tension stress areas which helps prevent fractures in the metal.

I know some people might think its a waste but I have seen good things from cryo treating and micropolishing, research that I have seen has shown a decrease of 7% of friction on a surface after it has been cryoed and micro polished. This is more like an afterthought to all the other things to toughen your drivetrain, don't expect to cryo your stock tranny and it's good for 1000 whp

What for? Drag? Or just street? I think you can worry about drivetrain after build that high hp motor.

What do you mean by "This will never be a Subaru" ?
