The
Most Frequently Asked Questions
What
Parts Should be Treated?
Any part subject to friction,
losses of lubricating film, heat damage, corrosion or abrasion. In
addition enhanced appearance is possible for parts such as headers,
brackets, suspension pieces.

How
Long Will The Coatings Last?
Depending on the coating, part
life increases from two (2) to ten (10) times what normally can be
seen. In addition coatings such as "CERMAKROME" can provide
virtual lifetime protection against rust. The dry film lubricants
may burnish until they are no longer visible; however, the active
materials are bonded into the pores of the part and continue to provide
protection.

How
Much Power Will I Gain?
This will depend upon many
factors that will vary from application to application. Testing has
shown significant power increases on a dyno. In addition certain changes
can be made in such areas as tolerances, timing, jetting and the lubricants
used, that will increase torque and horsepower and are only possible
through the use of coatings. Horsepower gains of up to 40 HP have
been measured in independent dyno testing.

Will
I see A Temperature Change?
Parts will run cooler. Engine
oil and water temperatures have shown a reduction. On headers the
radiated heat will be substantially reduced leading to lower underhood
temperatures and less heat absorption by nearby parts and surfaces.

What
Tuning Changes Will Be Necessary?
The changes necessary will
vary from engine to engine and depend on how many parts are coated.
In general coating the combustion chamber surfaces will allow you
to run less initial timing with no loss of power (usually a gain will
occur). You may also be able to run significantly less fuel, due to
the more efficient oxidation that occurs with the coated parts. You
should be able to run smaller jet sizes. Obviously no specific recommendations
can be made, as every engine/combination will be different.
