Very interesting. Any idea what the process adds to the cost of the gear-set?

So what do you think, worth it? Are the gains as mentioned, in the video?

it does exactly what it claims. if all you are looking for is the hp gains of 5-15 rwhp, then 200.00+ may not be what you want to spend. if you care about strength, longevity, and reduced oil temps, as we ll as the gain in hp, then it's worth it.

here's the testing we did with my car comparing REM processes versus the mikronite.

It wouldn't be the first time I spent a $100 per 1 rwhp. Plus I like the fact it makes the gears stronger. Crap, a new custom Y-pipe will cost me $500 to $600 and maybe give me 5 rwhp. But it's fun trying to get the most out of this very small cam, that isn't doing to bad so far.
