Founded in the mid 1970's by the late legendary racer and ignition wizard Kelly Davis, Performance Distributors has established a record of product innovation unrivaled by its competition. Thanks to an aggressive R&D program, Performance Distributors has developed the industry's most advanced line of high-performance and racing ignition systems. Performance Distributors was the FIRST company to make a performance H.E.I. distributor. That's why we are always technologically advanced over our competitors. Our pioneering line of H.E.I. distributors, called the "D.U.I. - Davis Unified Ignition," is now available for Chevy, Ford, AMC, Chrysler/Dodge, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac and Toyota Landcruisers.
Today, with Kelly's son Steve Davis running the show, the company races on at full speed.
Steve, age 46, worked many years with his father to thoroughly learn the business from the ground up.
This "training" included hand building distributors as well as filling out shipping papers. Steve
insists on quality products, hard work and treating the customer right. Every D.U.I. Distributor
is hand prepared, calibrated on a distributor machine and test fired.
New products continue to be produced at Performance Distributors. The D.U.I. for Toyota Landcruisers has just been released. The "Instant Timing Knob" D.U.I. is truly revolutionary. The Dodge Tri-Power Ignition System for Big Block Dodge applications has been an immediate "hit." Mr. Amp Alternator and our Dyna Battery continue to be the best charging system available.
You will "feel the difference" when you install a Performance Distributors product. Our goal is to provide your engine with more power, torque and efficiency, NOT just to ignite a spark! Lab, street and Track testing gives you a high quality and durable product. To place an order, use our secure online order form or call one of our sales representatives at 901-396-5782. You may also call us if you have a question about a product or send us an email to: info@performancedistributors.com.
"We finished the engine off with a Performance Distributors' DUI HEI distributor and matching Live Wire Spark Plug Wires. The DUI is quite capable of firing the wildest Street engines, incorporating naturally aspirated, nitrous fed, or even blown power adders." CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE, "Spot The Dyno Dog," August 2004, page 32
"The benefits of a DUI HEI Distributor are that they come with a high performance cap, a 50,000 volt coil and Dyna Module (gives more dwell time than a regular coil for a hotter spark), and most importantly, each distributor's advance curve is custom calibrated for each application." 4-WHEEL & OFFROAD, "Drunken Cruiser," April 2002, page 46
"While checking the timing, the excellent stability of the Performance Distributors' HEI ignition system was noted. The timing light showed near zero scatter." MUSCLE MUSTANGS & FAST FORDS, "Dyno Thrash: Wynnespeed 408," March 2004, page 162
"The advantages of a high performance HEI for a street driven engine over CD systems are simplicity, reliability, low cost and sometimes even a slight spark energy improvement. Performance Distributors has probably done more to champion the HEI than any other comany." CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE "Hot Spark To Go," Jan 2001, p.60-61.
"The D.U.I. would not only increase power and smoothness, but eliminate the tangle of wiring on the inner fenderwell." 4 WHEEL AND OFF-ROAD "Ford Ignition Upgrade," October, 97, p.134
Popular Hot Rodding and Bill Mitchell build a 771 HP motor using pump gas! The ignition of choice was Performance Distributors' Street/Strip D.U.I. POPULAR HOT RODDING, February 99, p.29
"...It sure couldn't hurt to have access to the extra ponies that result. At least our test mule really woke up after plopping the Performance Distirbutors' piece in place...we did find a very obvious 'seat-of-the-pants' improvement." FOUR WHEELER "Simplify With D.U.I." Nov. 2000, p.93
"They custom build every one, so I know I'll get what I need for this combination. The ignition curve will require fine tuning, and the DUI guys are dialed in on what it takes to get exactly what you're after." POPULAR HOT RODDING, Engine Masters Challenge "Rocket Power", October 2002 p.48
