Glen I wasn't being serious. I was just using GSS as an example. Because it would be pretty stupid to think GSS was just a scam. As it is to think Fuel Tech is as well.

I think both of your CR's there are probably very strong. I've heard nothing but outstanding remarks about your work. One day maybe you'll be so kind as to grace my motor with your excellent work as well

But as for transmission polishing. I don't know what the going rate for something like that is. But in Micro Blue's case it doesn't sound cheap. And as good as it might be. I wouldn't pay hundreds of dollars so that my oil comes out the same color. Of the many places I think this motor can be improved upon the transmission is the one thing I'm plenty happy with as is. Roostius you say a 450 gains 4.5 hp by doing similar work? I think that sounds a little steep. But if it does indeed free up that much lost power I may not be giving this idea as much credit as it's due.

When you figure driveline loss in an automatic is roughly 20% and around 10% for a manual there is a lot of power going missin somewhere.

if that is so could the power loss be because there are way more moving parts in an auto vice a manual? more friction causes loss of power? I don't know just thinking

automatic trannys take power to run ,torque converter, pump, pressure to move stuff through the valve body, that is where the higher number comes in.

It's turning your auto clutch, flywheel weight, steel sprockets, o-ring chain and tire balls.

talking about saving some power in the drive line, my guys all ran ernie-glide trannys when they could, dropped all rotating mass, and only coupled the mainshaft to make it drive, brilliant trans, had a 3" od clutch in it to get the car off the line. another trick is using a trans with a ballspline on a stock-car makes 20-30 hp at wfo ~7800rpm on our dirt cars over a regular old slip yoke

heres the ad from CV products, CV4 division, for the same "polishing" process as the mikronite, they use the term "Isotropic Superfinish"
