Atomic Performance Products® is an Australian Company that manufactures a small but specialized range of hard core components, short motors and high performance long engines to suit local and imported vehicles.

With over 30 years of high performance engine building and manufacturing experience, Atomic is the brainchild of Brad Girdwood, a veteran of the performance automotive Industry. Brad forged a reputation for high quality performance engines in the 80’s and 90’s at the helm of Brads Speed Shop in Sydney, leveraging this formidable experience to create Atomic in 2005.

Seeing a large number of engine failures in the “new” DOHC Ford 6 cyl engine back in 2004, it was obvious to Brad and the team that a range of high quality engine internals would be required to handle the power levels of “tuned-up” Turbo 6’s, so they set about designing a range of hard core engine parts that were up to the challenges.

Since then the range has increased from just one part number to over 250 part numbers of engines and products to help harness the virtually limitless power available in the Ford turbo 6 range of vehicles.

Along the way Atomic has been created automotive milestones such as:

• Pioneered the supply of prepped High Performance short motors for the turbo Ford 6
• Developed a harmonic balancer that absorbs more torsional vibration than any other
• Introduced a 12 month Warranty on Ford 6 Performance motors in 2005 - Industry first
• Introduced a no bullshit KW (or HP) rating for conrods in 2005
• Produced a cost effective billet gear oil pump for the DOHC 6 engine
• Solved head lifting problems in high HP engines with 14.3mm head studs
• Increased warranty period to 2 years on our performance engines from 2007
• Developed a main cap support girdle
• Developed and manufacture vernier adjustable cam sprockets
• 3 different valve springs to suit different boost levels
• Being granted a Patent in 2006 for our valve spring replacement tool - it brought about reducing the price of valve spring replacement by a substantial amount
• Introduced engine modernisation to the Ford 6 - Pressure fed gudgeon pins and Piston crown cooling to the Ford 6 cyl Turbo

Approximately 80% of our products have been marketed first by us, demonstrating our ability to innovate, rather than copy... but before we design a product or an engine package, we listen to what our customers need, and by working closely with world class racers, specialist workshops and tuners right from the point of conceptualisation, Atomic develops innovative products that really perform.

We utilise high tech materials, state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing processes, precise hand finishing by experienced tradespeople and rigorous quality assurance checks to produce high performance equipment second to none. And throw in some good old customer service and you are assured of a high level of customer satisfaction when dealing with Atomic.

Backyard mechanics, small workshops, specialist tuners and professional racers benefit from Atomic's ongoing quest to supply race proven components - parts that that form the foundation for many record setting performances, worldwide.
