Reinhart Chip

how many mark 8 owners will plunk down the cash for a blower...today, is the real question.
not too many mark 8 vendors left, not much competition, not much money to be made= extinct market.
cant really expect "too much" valet service.
I'm not saying its RIGHT, far from it...BUT, it is what it is
and the marauder crowd is "HYPER Competitive".
they all wanna be fasterst, they all jump on the lastest and greatest product.
comparatively speaking
"we, generally" let the big dogs..bask in their glory, rather than try to beat them.
there are many like myself whos finances simply wont allow "chasing numbers, or king of the hill titles".
I'm quite happy people like roadboss and driller are faster than me.

I'm not getting into this as I know what Reinhart is like. I've known people like him before and they do not change. I put my .02 in on the first page and you can see how badly he treated me and unprofessional he was, even when he knew I had $7k+ to spend on mods then, and more later and he knew what I was planning to do with the car then... 'nuff said from me...

Honestly, coming from you Geno, I figured that was your show of confidence coming from a fellow m8 parts vendor. I am not going to say Dennis is a bad guy or anything, I just feel like I am on the same intelligence level and I don't deserve to be talked down to. I was ready to buy a LMS chip a few months back but we weren't able to make that work due to something with SCT that was none of Geno's fault. I contacted Lonnie at BOC and it took him about a week to answer my first email, Dennis just answered me first so I went with him. I have heard some negative, but it seems that the majority was positive. Now, granted I went over to markviii.org in the vendor area, and I got the impression that dummy calvin removed any posts that trash talked a sponsoring vendor. Either way, I'm sure the chip will show, and I'm sure it will work out great, just frustrated I guess with online purchases lately, still havent gotten my HIDs from DDM that I ordered over 1 month ago...
I meant no disrespect to you at all. I just wanted you to know who you were dealing with. Nothing to do with pushing you my way because we have no blanks to burn on anymore. I may have just got a hookup on some old SC blanks that I can burn but even then thats only 30 chips total. It was about you being informed thats all Dan. I am just looking out for fellow LVCers.
I too am sure the chip will arrive but look at how your treated and lied too, to me that very poor business practice and he is WELL known for this and more.

Well.... I got the chip today. Took 2 weeks. Anyhow, I noticed a few things, the shift points are definately later, which is what I asked for to go with the 3:73s. I have the t-loc and 3:73s sitting on my bench but wanted to get the chip before I threw them in. So once the gears are in it should shift about spot on. Second thing is the shifts are firmer. Now, I have a j-mod done on this car and you dont feel as much of the "firmness" unless you are in the throttle a little. Now you feel it every shift. I don't know if this is a result of more power, or increased trans line pressure. Probably pressure. All in all, my first impressions are meh. I realize this was a supporting mod for the gears, so I can't make my full determination until they are in. As far as increased power goes, I'm not sure how I feel about it. Launch is exaclty the same as before. It feels like it pulls a bit harder in the mid to higher RPMS, which is I guess would be the case with advanced timing. Not sure I feel that the 325 was worth it, but again, I can't make a full opinion until the gears are installed. Also Dennis said he would include a multi position switch -- he didnt. He also said he was going to send it 2-day air -- he didnt, it came ground.
