Thanks Joe, I had read that link as it was posted by mrr23. I was wondering if DTE had seen the same sorts of gain, and if it they had seen the same results.

Great link mrr23 & Joe, Good info, Although I did grin and giggle at the Mikronite processed machete!!
Thanks.
I have been using MWe's Supra-Fin process on soft Pro gear and hard street gear sets and have been very impressed with the results. How does this process compare?
Are the benifits of the Mikronite process great enough to offset the higher cost when compared to the Supra-Fin process?
It's always nice to have another choice

Cryo-isotropic process (Cryo-REM) $175 to $250 and up. ...but if you do some shopping you can usually find some bargains for REM process.
Mikronite $200 and up.
Supra-Fin $125

Anywhere else to gain with-in the rest of the drivetrain? Engine area's like Piston skirts, tops, port chambers, exhaust chambers?

I'm about to build a 9" for road racing (I plan to use Richmond's lightened gears). Should I Cryo., Mikronite, and/or do the Supra-Fin? I know Cryo. is specificly for hardening the gear (don't know if that is needed with hard gear sets like Richmond and others). What's the advantage/difference between the Mikronite and Supra-Fin?

Any of the three processes would do well for you.
As for the difference between the Mikronite and Supra-Fin, Well, They both yield very similar results each from it's respective proprietary process. I think that the biggest difference is going to be in the cost.
I have not had much experience with the Mikronite but I have used Cryo-Isotropic (Cryo-REM) and Isotropic (REM). I have also used the Supra-Fin with excellent results.
Here is some good info on supper-polishing:

As far as on track results, it is very hard to attribute exact gains to the gears...unfortunately the type of data logging needed to verify such gains was not always availble: Just for what it worth, On a Stock Eliminator car, that we were able to use as a test mule, when we compared data logs from with/without we saw a 17 hp gain in calculated horse Power with a REM processed tranny and final gear set.
