So I'm going to have my Comp 987 Valvesprings Cryogenically Frozen......... I figure it couldn't hurt, and may even help, who knows?
I'd like to test how strong the 987's I'm taking out are, and later compare it to the cryogenically frozen set when I remove them.
If I ship em out to ya, could anyone here test my used 987's to see how much wear they've endured?

Don't know if you knew this already but if done wrong can completely ruin spring, that goes for anything cryogenically frozen. I will test them free of charge for ya.

These guys are the best in Phx when it comes to cryoing car parts, and I've heard nothing but good things about them.

The Shadow knows.
IMO, it might hurt. How about running the idea past one of Comp's engineers, if you can get to talk with one. Spring wire and valve spring heat treating are very special. At the very least, check them for load and rate both before and after you treat them. If I were selling them and a customer cryo treated them I would be temped to disavow any warranty.

I think you mean have they lost any load at a given height. Spring rate (lbs/inch) doesn't change with use, but they do "sag". If you didn't measure them when they were new, measuring them now won't tell you much.
