same as Dan really, heard mixed reports about them but you find if someone has had a good experiance with a company they tell a few people, if they have a bad experiance they tell everyone



what is it you want anyway???

Not sure if that would have been there claim or a customers The engines I have seen built by them for big power have also had big turbos and big (or eight) injectors - have a look on the pics in the FF add.

Danny and Luke have both been very honest and helpful towards me

hello there. we are always honest with people always do the best job for your money and never cut corners.and we never quote silly power figs for engine spec.out of al the hundreds of customers weve had im sure theres probably 1 or 2 that arent happy but then theres no helping some people.as for saying my bros mate wasnt happy so i wouldnt go there well you should always atleast check something out for yourself then make your own mind up. cheers

ive phoned a few times for advice on my engine build and running it in etc last year and they were very helpful

sometimes companys have the attitude that if they didint build it or buy their parts they aint intrsted

i found abc the complete opposite
