Please the guy bent and welded pipe there's no one brilliant doing that for a living!

Somehow drag racing and more specific header building has continue without him.

[J.R. Haddad]

No, it's continued because of him.

J.R.

Stahl made a living out of header work as does Mark Lelchook, Calvin Elston , Greg Holman and many others. I hope they read your comments.
Maybe you can give us a class on what the header does for the engine efficiency and affect piping size has on the head at speed. Probably not.
Your lack of class towards racers and fabricators amazes me. Who would invest in your program reading this garbage?

Oh and Happy Thanksgiving.

I could educate many here on headers as I did Jere!

so, start a company and make people headers. talk is cheap.

Not going to happen. I've stated before, that I would have to take a huge pay cut to provide any services for drag racers.

That said, Greg Holman built the headers in my Firebird and if I were to build another set, I'd have him build those too.

First time I talked to Jere was in the mid 70's when I built my first flow bench. He was extremely helpful.
Fast forward to 1989 and I was building a Dyno cell. I called and he remembered me. He really helped with the design of the cell. (kept me from making mistakes) I got a large envelope with hand written notes and suggestions from him. He even drew up some dyno specific headers for the most common engines I ran. I guess we just clicked. He was always helpful. The last set of headers I got from him were for one of my best friends SBC Monza...were heck to put on, but worked well. The set of headers he did for my D/Gas Vette back in the mid 70's were the best on the car. I never found any headers that went down track as quick as his set did. I have often wondered how many guys like me there were scattered around the country that he helped out.

Did you ever have any further communication with Jere after schooling him on headers?

I did, he called me to discuss my headers again as he was building a set for a similar combo.
