white-04 said:Didn't see it the first time, but have dyno graphs linked for a 98 Z28 and a 00 firebird run by a high performance shop. The testing write up says that Ford rears may benefit more from this process due to the position of the pinion, which causes Ford rears to be less efficient than GM and Chrysler rears. Maybe we can find more info on the 05 GT that got 7-9 rwhp gain from JDM engineering.

Most stang owners would probably save that $200 and spend it towards a SCT tuner or something USEFUL.
cvgtpony03 said:Although some people on here like to refer to me as a retarded dumbass, I'd like to say that the process is not "polishing" the parts. The parts are smoothed to a point that they appear polished. It is not something sprayed on them like chrome polishing. The parts are put into machines with a "sandy" like material. Then spun at a very high rate of speed. While this is happening the friction of the material against the parts smoothes them to a pointthat they appear polished. It is not a coating of any kind.
If the parts are smoother there is less friction between each other which would result in less resistance, heat, and horsepower loss. The process also makes the parts stronger.
On a personal matter, one more thing. I read the magazines to learn. If I see something that interests me, I turn to the internet to find real world experiences and proof that what I am reading is accurate. I search the forums like this one for the same reason I read the magazines....to learn more about my car in general and what steps I might want to take to make it perform better. I am finding that many of the Mustang related forums can be very informative and educational as well as entertaining......EXCEPT this one. Half of the posts on here are sarcastic, arrogant, rude or demeaning. When someone poses a question, for every post that might be someone trying to help the person, there are one or two posts of someone being a smartass. Many people on here are just rude. There is no reason for people to treat each other the way they do on here. There are certain people on here that seem to have nothing else to do all day long but troll Stangnet and look for people to cut down and smartoff to. It is really sad the more I think about it.
On this note, I would like to announce my early retirement from Stangnet. For the little bit of information I might have gained from this site, I have been constantly ridiculed, belittled and made fun of in other people's attempt to prove their self-proclaimed Mustang knowledge supremacy. I really feel sorry for some of you.
For the few of you that I have had pleasant conversations with and shared some ideas or laughs with, I wish you the best of luck with your Mustang and everything else in life. Take care................Ken

you forgot to mention 'bribed'Uncle Meat said:Look Ken... You come on here with some info you gleaned from a magazine article. 99% of us know that much of the info in magazine articles can by inflated excessively.

hotmustang331 said:Ill say this, if you want every litte bit out of your car. then sure, do it. PLEASE dont laugh at the idea, you can bet your butts, that the guys of the 60s all had this done on their drag cars. Dont be closed minded to new ideas...because there are really no new ideas, they have all been done in the past. And how it usually is, if you never heard of it....most likely it WORKS! Just like other things that may seem foolish to some of you.
Vaccume pump
side gapping plugs
indexing the plugs
Just to name a few. If you look at each thing, you would think "lol thats not going to do anything". But if I were to do all those things to a stock GT, and then race another stock GT. I would drive away from him...seriously.
Thats been a problem on here, noone accepts new ideas. Much like a group of 65 Y/O men.

1. go to the track.
2. record all of the conditions.
3. run you car.
then
1. pull your gears
2. send them to mikronite
3. re-install them
4. go to the track on a day with similar conditions
5. run you car.
Post it all in. Who knows call mikronite and tell them what you are doing they may give a break on the $200. Just saying you are right or someone is dumb becasue you do or don't have a magazine subscription does not hold water.
san~man said:Well, even that won't shut up all the disbelievers.
Someone will say "bah, the track conditions were different" or, "bah, you had a bad/good day at the track" etc etc.
Even if he were to do a dyno before and after installing the "magically processed, stupendously new, discombubulated gears" someone will say that the gain, if any, can be attributed to the error factor with the dyno.
The bottom line is if you got the spare 200.00 burning that huge hole in your pocket, do it. You don't need anyones permission or blessing to do so.
What?Uncle Meat said:Doesn't deter from the fact that you are still a verbally flatulent sphincter muscle.
U.M.
bottom line is that a 1 or 2 percent increase on lower horsepower output engines wont make any difference. Its a waste of money plain and simple.san~man said:Well, even that won't shut up all the disbelievers.

depends on how many passes down the 1/4 you make. i am a big believer in track times if they are documented and enough passes are made.san~man said:Well, even that won't shut up all the disbelievers.
