How much stronger will the diff be with cryo?
If I cryo treat my 4.44 gear, pinion and the diff casing will it stand to say abuse with a Vortech + smaller pulley (around 360rhbp)?
What is the difference between this setup compare to the Comptech reinforced diff?

Well, I have to say... this is not an easy job in a one car garage with jackstands. That aside, I'm just about done with the install of the new diff. I'm expecting a UPS today with new bolts / nuts and I should be going for a test drive this evening. Jose... I'll actually be in NY next weekend with the car. I'll be getting in up there on Wednesday night and staying through Sunday evening.

I wonder how difficult it would be to install a Ford 8.8" differential from their IRS into the S2K.. I know it would handle ANY power mods you could throw at it from the F20C1, but would it be worth the trouble to make a kit to install it?

hey guys, how heavy is the S2k diff?
I will be changing the gear and pinion to 4.44 shortly and like to do most of the job my self. I have no hoist and will be doing it by myself.
Is it heavy? Will I get squashed or any rotator cuffs tear
?

Just dropped off my Rick's 4.44s, Comptech reinforced differential housing, and a Toda lightened flywheel, to get thermal treated.
It is a lot like Cryo except it is potentially better. The guy that owns these shop around the world lives in Largo Florida. He was on the forefront of cryogenics years ago. He showed me testing that proved that this process strengthens the parts and reduces vibration to almost none. He did about thirty rearends before Sebring and autocross teams that used to get 11-12 hours out of their brake rotors now get about 34 hours. He does golf clubs for almost all the pros.
The treatment brings the temperature down very slowly to let's say -320 degrees. Cryogenics leaves it there for about 20-40 hours. His process cycles the temperature up and down which he has shown makes the process potentially better in a short period of time.
The guy is a genius. He spent an hour explaining the process to be and that is the best I can explain it to you. Yes, a thermal treated or cryoed rearend is stronger than not having it done.
He is building a freezing unit now to do Abrams tank barrels.
Best part is he is only charging me $80 for all that stuff.
He name is Frank Masyada at Thermal Technology Services, Inc. (727)-532-4755. Nice guy call him and he can tell you his nearest shop to you.
