This is not a probability of success.

Face plating is a precess where they remove the syncro teeth from the gears and weld a large lugged ring to the gear to replace them. This allows full power upshifts and no chance of ever missing a gear. Nothing to do with hardfacing.
My uncle had that done in the early '70s with his '69 Z28 Camaro, wasnt a guarantee to hit every shift but it helped, he ran 11.70s in the quarter-mile in the early '70s (record holding). When he missed a gear the mechanical tach would bang 10,000 RPM, sick for a V8. My father had to replace the clutch after every run.
I feel like I can talk about this and not get flamed for drag racing, this board has changed....................................
Your father replaced clutches ona Z28 'Maro and you drive a 996 without a clutch! You should be ashamed of yourself!
Just kidding! Trying to give you a little Friday Night ****!
The plan is to have a similar car to the Chevelle. Something that does everything well. Not exactly why I want to sell the Chevelle, I guess maybe I want to try something different.
My latest will choice will have to be a 99 C2 so it's light, light cars do everything well. It will be 700 lbs lighter then my Chevelle. I plan to drop a TT motor into it and ditch the stock 3.4. Looks like I might be going Tiptronic at this point because the car will be much faster on boost.
I don't want a drag car, it just has to be decenttly quick. I would be plenty happy with 500 rwhp...I think? I've always had a car that is too fast, I cant ruin my reputation!
Have you seen the vids of my Chevelle?? Dyno was only at 14 spi and 16 degrees of timing with the old turbos, the other video was footage from video I sent to BULLRUN, they did not choose me though.
