Georgia, west of Atlanta | AH-HA so it begins: Glad to see another shop is in the Victory engine game AND proving things at the race track to boot !!! Don't get me wrong, I have a Lloyds engine at the 106" level, makes good power too, 115.5 HP and 117.2 TQ AND I'm very happy with it. In fact Lloyd himself dyno tuned it at Daytona last spring right under that famous shade tree. BUT it's still a good thing to see another shop in the game offering head porting, piston kits and even complete engines......Competition breeds better products and better pricing. Just look at what amount of choice the Harley community has. I know we're a long ways from that level of support but a start is good........ |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | On this train of though: when I was down at Valdosta to see the Top Fuel motorcycles run at The manufacturers Cup I met "Jethro" and talked with him for 20 minutes or so, he said he and a couple of other Victory dragracers were in the process of having stroker cranks built for their engines, they would have to be pretty long arms cause he was looking for 140 cu inches. To do that you'd need a 5" stroke with a smallish 4.25" bore......... |

Gainesville Fl Home of the Gators | Dave and PMRT have been around for a LONG time. He was the first to make a REAL performance intake for Vic's. His chips for the early bikes were used as the D&D performance exhaust chip, and many other custom chips came from his shop. Five years ago I built an 01 to 100" with solid lifters, bee hive springs, and slipper pistons. All from PMRT.
BTW Dave is easily one of the sharpest people I have met in my life |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | The website does need improvement, that's for sure. I left them a question on their contact page asking how much air their big valve ported heads move at 10" pressure compared to stockers. We'll see how long they take to get back on that question. Hopefully soon........... |

Dave is a engineer that runs tunnel building sites, and PMRT is mostly a fun thing for him to relive pressure. His test bed is a drag strip where he has run things like a Roots blown Vic at well over 220HP until the case split |
