As most of you know I work for Callies Performance Products, and I am trying to expand our reach in the tuner market by offering our Aero-Shedding services. While more often than not we use this process on crankshafts to reduce friction, I have also seen people use this on connecting rods, camshafts, gears etc.

FAQ

What is Aero-Shedding?
Aero-Shed is a micro/super polish procedure done to metal. Most people are more familiar with REM finishes, however this is not a REM, we do not use chemicals to etch the parts. So what does all this mean? It makes the part extremely smooth. This accomplishes 2 things, reduction in friction, and strengthens the part!

The point?
Less friction means more horsepower and better gas mileage. A smoother surface reduces stress risers and in turn, makes for a stronger part.

What can be Aero-Shed?
Just about anything that is metal, however the most popular things would be cranks, rods, and head components. Although I have seen compressor wheels, gears turbine housings and etc.

Turn Around Time?
For standard items, such as cranks and rods, about 3-5 days(not including shipping time). For more unique items, look at around 2 weeks.

Pricing?
Cranks $250 per crank
Con Rods $250 per set of rods
Camshafts $187 a pair

-=Disclaimer=-
Aero-Shedding does smooth out parts and reduce friction! HOWEVER, results will vary depending on the base part to be worked on (especially visually). The better the machine work the better the results. Most parts we have Aero-Shed look chrome, however visual appearance can vary by material type and if it is a
forging/billet or cast piece.
