Mission statement:
"Hemi Performance Engineering" is dedicated to maximizing performance through global engineering solutions that unlock the
Horsepower trapped inside every OEM motor and/or every aftermarket "kit" that usually creates more trouble than it's worth. We challenge each and every manufactures' claim that their part will 'fit' or 'work' in combination with any other. No valve, cam, piston, or other part, aftermarket or OEM, can become a part of a "Hemi Performance Engineering" performance package unless and until its integration into our global engineering solution proves that it can increase horsepower without destroying the 'turn-key' roadworthiness of your bike.
Who is "Hemi Performance Engineering"?
We are not parts changers. We are engineers who have learned that maximizing performance requires a complete and thorough understanding of your bike as a total system. When you call "Hemi Performance Engineering", you will actually speak to a person who knows every facet of our operation. We do not export our calls to a 'support center' where somebody getting paid minimum wage simply takes an order.
We are riders who have been victimized by the outrageous claims made in the industry as a whole. Our collective experience coupled with countless hours of research and testing, have generated a broad knowledge base that put "Hemi Performance Engineering" in a unique position to specifically address the needs of each of our customers. We have learned that one size does not fit all. There are an infinite number of combinations. We will tell you what we know works and what we know that doesn't. No kit will be sold unless we can prove to ourselves that it works as a part of a global solution for your specific needs.
We are driven towards excellence solely by the passion we all share for uncompromised performance.
The Reality:
• You cannot have it all - Pretty much a physical impossibility
• Perception of terminology in the industry is skewed mainly by the media - we do our best to avoid the hype
• There is a difference between horsepower and torque: torque gets you moving- horsepower keeps you going
• Your "Hemi Performance Engineering" motor will sound, act, and feel different that when it was stock. On average, a "Hemi Performance Engineering" motors will double the OEM horsepower.
• In most "Hemi Performance Engineering" solutions, torque will no longer come in at 1500 rpm-you will be riding a different bike
• A "Hemi Performance Engineering" motor, depending on the degree of modification, will require you to move your shift points in order to maintain proper leverage and avoid engine knocking and pinging
• You will hear the valve train on your motor working. Valve train noise will vary depending on how much horsepower and torque you want to make. Most noise can be squelched by larger base circles and slower ramps on the cams, but the result will be lower HP and TQ. (See first statement…)
• If your exhaust looks nice, it probably doesn’t work. Power numbers can vary by up to 40hp with the wrong pipe. We have a simple, sleek ‘2 into 1’ tuned exhaust with a baffle that has been specifically engineered to breathe along with our heads. It is the only correct exhaust for a "Hemi Performance Engineering".
• Choose your teammates carefully. You can put the best or most expensive parts together and make less horsepower than when you started. For example: If you buy $3,000.00 heads that breathe but choose the wrong cams – you lose; Heads that breathe cams that ramp properly but a stock carburetor that can’t deliver the fuel – you lose.
• BEWARE!!! Testing equipment (i.e. dynamometers, flow benches, etc.) can be manipulated to spit out any number the operator would like you to see. These pieces of equipment are tools best suited for comparative study within a given application. You should NEVER-EVER make a purchase because of performance claims based on these numbers. This sort of ‘bench racing’ is exactly what the industry wants you to do. At "Hemi Performance Engineering", we use these tools to test, tune, and refine each individual application to insure that your "Hemi Performance Engineering" motor integrates with your bike to form a globally engineered solution and maximize your performance expectations.
Integrated engineered solutions:
Each and every one of the products and services offered by "Hemi Performance Engineering" is available in a combination with any other. We encourage, highly recommend, and strongly suggest that you take the time to listen and understand what we mean by ‘global engineering’ of performance enhancements for your bike BEFORE you buy anything. Take the time to speak with one of our representatives and become familiar with the philosophy of "Hemi Performance Engineering" and the concept of an integrated engineered solution. Once you understand what we mean, you can tell us what you want. We are a passion driven enterprise that has no interest in making a sale if the end result is not the full, complete, and total satisfaction of our customer.
