About RAD

RAD is for people who want the result—not the experiment.In the performance world, “bolt-on” usually means “break out the grinder.” Parts that technically fit in theory still need massaging in reality. And once it runs, the real pain starts: inconsistent power, touchy drivability, random issues that come and go, and a tune that never feels finished. It’s easy to get stuck in endless iteration—changing parts, chasing the tune, and paying the rework tax.RAD exists to replace that cycle with a proven path. We deliver complete engine and transmission solutions engineered as one package: components chosen to work together and package cleanly, plus a ready-to-run calibration that brings the combination into harmony. The point is simple: repeatable power and a car that drives right, whether you’re a serious DIY builder or a professional performance shop.

Turnkey Powertrain Solutions
RAD delivers complete powertrain packages—engine, power-adder, fuel system, transmission, ECU, wiring, sensors—assembled as a matched system and delivered fully tuned and ready to drive.This isn’t a parts list. It’s an engineered combination built around how you’ll actually use the car—street, drag, road race, or drift—with configuration options that support fitment across most 1970s–1990s RWD chassis. The goal is simple: power, drivability, and reliability in one package.What Makes RAD Unique?
RAD is an engineered system—hard parts and calibration—optimized for your specific use case and budget.• Short block built for the job
Ring gap, bearing clearances, rotating assembly, and oil control are carefully engineered for the intended use and rpm demands—right-sized for the application, not blindly overbuilt.
• Valvetrain and airflow engineered as a package
Cam and valvetrain are matched to the rpm band and power strategy, with heads/intake sized for the outcome you want—broad torque and drivability when that matters, top-end when it’s earned.
• Power-adder selected for response and usable power
The turbo and intercooler are matched for efficient spool, a meaty powerband, and plenty of high boost/RPM headroom—all while maintaining packaging discipline and long-term reliability.
• The tune is the glue that brings it together
A carefully selected ECU, harness, and sensor package is delivered with a complete calibration foundation—startup, idle, part-throttle, and WOT—complete with safety logic to keep the system protected and consistent.The Result
A powertrain package that behaves like a finished system: strong power, clean drivability, and fewer surprises—whether you’re a serious DIY builder looking for more power than a “drop out“ or less complexity than starting with a crate motor, or a professional performance shop looking to save time and complexity for your next customer build.
If you want the “easy button” for engine swaps, reach out and we’ll scope a package around your goals, and budget.
