Probably not very cost effective.

 It is not designed for the average user. Probably just for racing.

 It definitely makes some torque in the upper revs. Takes some juice
 to hold the front end a foot off the ground at that speed !!

 Depends on where you are sitting. You get max acceleration if all the
 weight is on the drive wheel.

 Its best to go to  www.Gilo Industries.com     The parent company
 that owns Rotron and Crighton Racing, they have just had a engine
 running none-stop for over 1000 hours, day and night, to much to
 write about about but web site needs to be read.

I wonder what the apex seal coating is.

Everett Rankin

What is the point of using a coating when silicon nitride apex seals are
good for 20,000 hours?

Paul Lamar

They say it doesn't need oil lubrication

Everett Rankin

Teflon might work for a while. I don't trust if for a long life aircraft
engine. Motor cycle racing might be ok. It could be a combination
of DLC and Teflon or just DLC.

The corner seals on RX8 engines are DLC coated.

If it really worked on the apex seals Mazda would have used it as that
has HC emission implications. It is probably very expensive.
