I have been planning on getting my washers carbon-ceramicoated and sending to NASA to have them brought into space on the last shuttle launch. They will then vaccuum seal them, coat them with liquid glass, then bring them back. This has been known to remove all the oxygen from them and should reduce the friction by approximatly 37.19587%. I am looking for mid 10's after they are installed. STAY TUNED!

I had my washers recently removed and forced inducted to get added power and streangth! I was told that they will need to be dipped in fuel now...and plenty more at that.... due to them being FI and needing that extra fuel...

Has anyone tried the double power adder bolt on kit on their washers!?!

I have electronic washers, they are fully programmable, virtually stackable, and work with VATS and TCS enabled...

Since my car is a Firehawk I figured it would run fast times if I roasted all my washers over a open flame and they would be happier and make my car FLY!!!!!

I think for next year I'm gonna run true dual washers - the way I figure, if I stack two washers under every bolt head, I should add just enough weight that traction will increase, but not enough that I'll notice the weight difference. I'm just not sure if I should run an H or an X-washer setup - I heard the H-washers have a great sound when dropped on the floor, but the X-washers are supposed to sound really exotic when dropped. Any ideas? I tried a search, but everything I found I just didn't feel like reading.

Anyone else put nitrous jets on their critical washers to increase performance?

Yeah, but I made the noob mistake of not putting in washers with a lower heat range on a 150 shot - I melted the washers, but thankfully they melted to the floor board, thus keeping it from blowing out. The manifold? Not so lucky...

I didn't search, but what's the weight savings with chromoly washers? I don't know if they're worth running on the street

EDIT: Also, could they be used to shim my MAF? I heard that it's worth at least 2 horsepower, but only on Corvette motors

This thread has been going for over 4 years and the advice has been great. I have been running the titanium washers with great success for 3.5 years.
