You'd think it would come with the whole package given that there selling you an engine that's capable of 698kw.

Do Atomic state that it comes with the 698 engine? Will the engine not develop 698 kw without breaking??There are LOTS of guys making high hp without a strengthened girdle, AND there are many other bits and pieces which can be recommended to increase longevity, but I guess the line has to be drawn somewhere, or the engines just become impossibly expensive, and guys will whine about the cost :banghead:You get what you pay for! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
