stee3 Member 194 Member For: 13y 2m 26d Posted 13/01/13 09:28 AM Share Posted 13/01/13 09:28 AM Atomic make some specialised that no one else makes and if your making big HP you just can't do without. Alot of engine builders use atomic bit parts in there engines. Like I stated above I used a lot of atomic parts in my engine and mates engines 95% of the parts were perfect a few I wasn't happy with but Brad immediately sorted it all out for me. So the bottom line is like with any product something is bound to go wrong here and there but if the supplier sorts its out for you then they are 100% in my books. All we were trying to say here is keep your options open and do your research before you spend your coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After sales service is the key with making these big power plants. If you want a motor build with a mix of parts call iDyno.com.au tomorrow in NSW and just ask Brent for a street version of my motor. He and I use all brads and DLM gear. It's not all about the gear it's about the assembly of the parts and tuning of the combo. Use the correct gear for the job. Correct cams for turbo and head combo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_davies_28 Member 14 Member For: 12y 3m 22d Posted 13/01/13 10:52 AM Share Posted 13/01/13 10:52 AM yea understand the process of building something big hp but the idea I'm getting from this thread is brads gear is brilliant but the assembly is a bit of hit and miss depending on who assembled it? just thinking going to bite the bullet and buy a long engine off him. have no doubts that for every upset customer there is 100 happy ones out there.

Seems to me like the thread is a waste of time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want direct contact with the person who builds it. Maybe someone who dragraces these engines. Didn't DLM build that monster destroked engine on youtube. People like that.
