That's what I would like to do if I could ever swing the money but man money is tight. Having a hard enough time keeping up with the bills.

Joe, while I am a huge believer in the Cryo process, the material in the factory rods doesn't really have the grain structure to benifet from the cyro process. For the Cryo process to be of much uses it needs to be done along with a heat treatment, from a know material. Not just a guess as to what the factory used in the rods. Not knowing the exact material and trying to cryo a rod can make it actually weaker.

Well it seems to be working for WOP right now? I see no reason to go with $2500 rods at the 550-600 hp range. With correct tuning they will live a long life.

Yes if you find a good tuner, you should be able to send your TS chip to them and they will burn the tunes onto it.

Any one of these companies tune and sell TS chips. You'll probably come out cheaper ordering the chip and tunes from the same company.

I paid 200 for two TS chips out of a classified section.

Plus a reburn, is less than some of the vendors sell chips + tunes for.
