Davis Step Headers???
 

Has anyone been in contact with Darrin Davis at Davis Step Headers? He has a set of headers that I've been waiting for him to ship and I have not been able to contact him for quite some time. If anyone has new contact info or health update??? please let me know. Thank you, Darrell Ciaravino (734)558-3295

Talked to him several years ago, but didn't go with him. Just lucky I guess. I bought an old set of Jack Davis step headers for my Max Wedge from Jerry Stein (Teachers Pet). Did some repairs on them and had them coated. When I put the motor on the dyno we used some step headers with 02 sensors. When finished I decided to put my headers on to see if I lost any power. The Davis headers had the same HP numbers and actually had more torque at higher rpm than the expensive stainless steel step headers. At least for my motor they did. Never know who may have an old set made by Jack Davis around.

i spoke to him about a year ago and he said he was out of the header business.

You cannot beat Stahl headers by ACP. Kerry bought Jere's business, and hired his fabricator, Greg Stump to operate it. Kerry and Jere were very close, Kerry is a racer and a businessman. If you buy from them, you get Jere's knowledge and passion, same as always.

I probably bought one of his last sets ever built for mine. Didn?t agree with his pipe size at the time but he was spot on. Still have his original set he built for me. REF headers out of Kingman Az cloned them due to age issues.

Jere used to wear me out on data. He asked me for every dyno file I ran, on everything. We often disagreed, but always figured out what was happening. He used to go talk to Grump, and play back our conversations to him. Funny to know "Grump thinks you're fairly sharp", funnier to have Jere say "Bill said to tell you you're a dumb *****, you know better than that!" I'd give near anything to have more time with both. Jere eventually came my way on the value of the two step header over the one step, and true merge collectors.Took a couple of months to get him to see what I was saying about A/F ratio sensors. He taught me a bunch about camshafts, wanted to teach me more, asked me to go have classes with Harvey Crane. Not getting the chance to spend more time with them reminds me to try to spend more time with my mentor, Jimmy Bridges. Those guys and WJ are all a lot alike. Hard to get to know, coarse, and blunt. I've figured out that they just didn't spend time on "frills and dressings", they got to the point, and they had zero time for people who don't listen and think. People who didn't/don't like them have simply never been fortunate enough to actually know them.

I had Davis Step Headers on my Max Wedge car and Jack was very helpful and the pipes were faster than the previous set of Hookers.

Jere Stahl is a legend and rightfully so but he was not the easiest guy to talk to.

Re: Davis Step Headers???
 

I spent well over an hour on the phone one night with Jere, he refused to believe my nearly 2 ton Chevelle with a 700HP 468 ran what it did with 1 3/4” primary tube headers. Jere was schooled that night!

That said, the step headers on my Firebird were built by Greg Holman aka REF Unlimited in Arizona who did an outstanding job.
