Look out Gainesville

[Dennis Reinhart]

Well I have installed my sponsored Novi 2200, replacing the JT Trim. I will be running about 18 PSI, I took the transmission out because I just did not want to take any chances, and amazingly the transmission was in very good shape, the sun gear teeth had some light pitting, I sent the triple disk PI converter to Jack, and had him inspect it and change the stall to 3500, I replace the Kinsler fuel filter installed new injectors and used a HPX Maf in a blow through, I will post more pictures and the dyno video, we are starting on a 2010 GT next week with a Vortech watter to air, I will post that build up as well.

[LANDY]

that great to see Dennis.
let me know when you go to the track.
i will be happy to be part of your pit crew.

[LeoVampire]

looking good Dennis and like the timming cover match to the cam covers.

[CBT]

Sure is a clean engine, I'm digging the blue paint :beer:

[ntd]

Looks good has it been on the dyno yet what's it putting down?

[Dennis Reinhart]

I will have the car on the dyno this week after the transmission goes back in, we tore it down, and it could have gone another 50k, but we replaced all the clutches and the sun gear it was slightly pitted, the converter will be back from PI Tuesday, I installed the dual pumps today, and replaced the rear main seal, looking forward to getting back on the track.

[magindat]

I knew it!

Took it all out for fuel mileage - my big ol' butt!!!
I knew you couldn't resist!!!

I hope it runs like a scalded dog!!!

Looks great!

[ImpalaSlayer]

what kind of rotating assy are you running?

[Dennis Reinhart]

My best time two years ago was 11.2 at 128 MPH, I feel confident the car will do better, this is my daily driver, the chassis has a 127k on it, I hope to get to the track with in the next two weeks.

[Glenn]

Good Luck Dennis - you have a beautiful car and engine. You are without doubt the premier MM SC/mod builder and tuner in the country. Keep up the good work.

Glenn

[MarauderTJA]

Looks awesome DENNIS:up: Looks like you are coming after me:beer:, Gotta love it....best of luck and go for it...Would get me motivated to lower my et:banana:. I am confident that you will be deep into the 10's for sure.

[CWright]

Man, that looks awesome! Can't wait to see the numbers she puts up! :eek:

[Loco1234]

are the Novi 2200 & the JT-trim about the same performance wise?

[Dennis Reinhart]

Yes they are Gary

Im pretty sure your Mark 8 went the above ET, not the Marauder.

If im wrong sorry.

[Dennis Reinhart]

Well the transmission is in with the converter, I added a line lock it goes on the dyno in the morning.

[Glenn]

Line locks are great - I don't know why more MM owners don't use them. They are the only way to go when you do a burn-out. Looking forward to your dyno numbers.

Glenn

[Dennis Reinhart]

Thanks Glenn, you will love how I wired the line lock. I wired it in on the brake pedal adjust switch, you pump the brakes depress the swith do the burn out and release it, also because I am doing a blow through I was able to get a huge K&N air cleaner in my larger air box.

Looks like your having fun, have a great day at the track when you get there, :)

[Dennis Reinhart]

Thank you John I have done nothing but work like a dog since 08, now things are starting to turn around and I really do enjoy the smell of race gas, as much as I do helping others complete there goals, I am now working with Vortech for a kit for the 3V sport track.

Nitrous light and switch ============

I really like your pedal adjusting button idea for the LL. I wish I had thought of that one myself. I never use the switch at all.

Glenn

[Dennis Reinhart]

The car sounds like a Jet, I like the Novi 2200 better than the JT Trim, we had the car on the dyno today, it is only making 11.8 PSI but the car made 478 RWHP with very little timing, so I will drop the pulley size, on 16 PSI it made 568, my goal is 600 with out N20, I am hoping to make Gainesville Wed, so will see, and I am looking forward to the Picnic, I also wanted to let the members know, a member here has a brand new set of Kooks he wants to sell them they never have been installed and a set of UDP, he now wants to buy a S/C for the car, so if any one would be interested in this, please shoot me a PM they will come with FREE shipping.:beer:

[jflave]

Hey Dennis, if he wants a 1200SL Novi i'll up grade to a 2200 SL Novi. One short season on 1200SL. :)

[Dennis Reinhart]

I do not think will have a problem finding a home for this.

[Phrog_gunner]

That snake is pure bada$$ery.

[FormulaMarauder]

what a fantastic idea for the nitrous purge

That sounds sweet Dennis, lot better than the JT. Good luck Wednesday.

[JES]

what a fantastic idea for the nitrous purge


My thought exactly... :D

[Dennis Reinhart]

Well I installed a BAP today just to be safe, I got the car on the dyno late and I am happy with just 13 PSI the car made 513 RWHP so I may just hit it with a 100 shot or I may put a 4lb crank pulley on, I will be at the track Wednesday. And will see many of you at the Picnic.

[CWright]

:eek::eek::awe::rock: NICE DENNIS!!!!!!!! ..............Anybody looking for NOVI 1200 with less than 1000 miles on it?? I might just upgrade!:D

[ROCOB]

Hey Dennis looking forward to seeing how things go at the track Wednesday. Digging around in the archives I saw where you you posted a 11.643 at 117.27 around Thanksgiving of 06', I am curious to see how much faster and quicker you will be with the new set up.:woohoo::woohoo:

Well there are several factors, to consider, one back then I was making 16 PSI now I am just at 13, second is the temrature is a lot higher here now than in November, but I am excited to see what the car does, and really I do not care for the high number. I just love the smell of RACE GAS:beer:

[kariamack]

Dennis what time are you going to the track ..Me and Corey might come to the race track

[Dennis Reinhart]

I should be there around 7, see you there and tell Cory I am going to hurt him.:eek:

[LANDY]

if its like that, i might just head out there too.

Good luck Dennis. She will run great I am sure. Hit the 10's:beer:.

[JES]

Dennis, how did your Gainesville trip go?

[LANDY]

guys i couldnt make it.
Lizz was feeling bad and i couldnt leave her alone.
hope you guys had fun.

[Dennis Reinhart]

Well as I said every one wants a ten, and I will get there. I am in no hurray. I have not raced in over two years, but I had fun Corey and his friend was there, I have 16" 11.5 M/T on the car so I ran five passes it took three to get the tire pressure right, I just blew them away coming out of the hole, 60' were high 1.9 my first run was 12.04 at 122 MPH OAT 88 degrees here and 85% humidity, so I dropped the tire pressure to 21 PSI. Next I was working on the shift schedule, I set the revs per mile to 800, and kept dropping my 1/2 I was just hitting the rev limit, the 2/3 was shifting short at 5500 RPM so I raised it, my last pass was 11.7 at 119 MPH and the car never spun out of the hole, so next week will be better, it is all about patients and having fun. The car right now is only making 13 PSI. And I am running a six rib with no issues.

Mann gainesville was fun . Dennis car is wicked fast ...Corey needs some help at not sleeping at the light . landy wish you could have made it .I love watching your car

[sailsmen]

Congrats Dennis.:banana:

If you have tubes you can go down to 14psi and w/o tubes 15.5psi. Depending on how dry and smooth the track is she will get squirlly at the top end. Just let up and try another run.

When I ran 17psi, as a result of hitting dew and drifting to the center, I was spinning out past the launch. When I went back to 14psi she hooks!

Are you running Nitros and if so what set up?

[Dennis Reinhart]

I am running a 100 shot, I used a bottle in the bag kit but mounted it in the trunk, I am going to try a 200 shot I have this coming in right out of the S/C at the inlet of the inner cooler, so the N20 is drooping the temp out of the blower as it enters the IC, now since I am set up as a blow through there is no need for a wet shot, and you can't run that through the IC, this way I can maintain 13 PSI. I am just trying to to some R/D for a good setup, and try and relax a little, after the past two years I need it.

[ntd]

Good shake down run glad all went well. Do you have the 16" 11.5 M/T on the CVPI steel wheels? Seem link a very narrow rim for 11.5" tires also how did it feel at speed with the radial bias ply tires combo

[MarauderTJA]

Went well Dennis based on the conditions. Wait until the fall when its cooler. And your right, what is the hurry. It is all fun.:D. See you Saturday.

A widder rim would be better, but as Billy said if you add tubes to these they add side wall support, when you lower the tire pressure, the car handles well at the mid track and beyond.

[FormulaMarauder]

Can't wait to see that thing in person on the weekend of June 4th!! hopefully we can get to the track on Saturday night!!!

[Dennis Reinhart]

I am having a big fourth of July party at my house, we do this every year.

[Glenn]

Congrats Dennis - 11.77 is a very good run in anyone's book. You might want to look at Mustang Cobra Replica 10"x16" rims. They are not very expensive and lighter then the steel wheels. I run these rims on my MT ET bias Streets with no tubes. No tubes makes the car a little shaky at the top end, but it does reduce your et due to less rotating mass.

Good luck on your runs this Summer.

Glenn :burnout:

where did you the Mustang Cobra Replica 16"x10" rims.

[Dennis Reinhart]

I am going to try to get back tomorrow, but a customer coming in from out of state with his Marauder for tunning tomorrow, I pulled my blower today and added little boost, now so you know my car has 118k on the clock the motor probably has 50K the rear end is 31 spline and I just went through the trans today at 98 Degrees it made 560 on pump gas and 11 degrees of timing the IAT went to 128, so I did one pull with a 75 shot the IAT dropped to 90 degrees and you can see what it made this is with no more timing and yes the AF needs some tweaking but I am very impressed, I will do a video of it in the morning I am also working hard on JFlaves car, and will have dyno sheets tons of pictures.

[Dennis Reinhart]

Yep, not bad considering what I have spent on the car, and the mileage, others have spent far more, and I am not far from there mark, I absolutely believe Ron does the best job on mod motors and 4V and 2V heads. I will do a pull in the morning and I am willing to bet the car makes 20 plus more RWHP because of the cooler temperature, I will straighten out the AF some, I hope to have Johns car again on the dyno next week. No matter I will be happy with a 10 I have no plans in adding a cage to the car so I will get one pass at Gainesville if it goes tens or close to it. And consider this is my daily driver. Most of the miles on this car were added when I loaned the car out to my customers.

[jflave]

Dennis, can't wait to see how you do at the track since i'll be right behind you. :)

[Kennyrauder]

You guys piss me off. Here I am way up North & the cops are so infested like black flies i am afraid to even do a short run. I am really thinking of buying a car trailer & coming down for some fun. My health has taken a BIG turn for the better after the operation April 5. Sold the big house, Dawn is now retired so why not? We miss all of our American friends. PS Looking for a clean used less than 3 years old C class motor home capable of hauling my Marauder. Crazy high prices in Canada. Thanks ...Kenny Metsala 705 264 0234

[Dennis Reinhart]

Kenny I hope you can get a break and start feeling better, if any one deserves it, it's you.

Here is the dyno run with the 75 shot you will love the purge shot.

Thinking about selling my RV, it's older than that but low mileage. It's a 28' Ford chassis with 6.8L V10.

[Dennis Reinhart]

I am installing Banks LTH on a 2010 E 350 van and tunning it from NY, and I then am going to see if I can do a S/C, It has the same motor. We are also going to do a kit for a 4.6 Ford Sport Track.

[Dennis Reinhart]

Well it was almost 88 degrees tonight I let the car cool before my first pass, Landy showed up and did the same the car ran 11.4 my RT was bad and so was my 60' the second pass was 11.6 and the third pass was bad but oh well I had fun and it will get better, the car was breaking up so I feel it may be a coil so, I quit for the night after this, and will check the car out later this week. Landy was running 12;s on street tires and was dialing shift points in when I left.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUgaI14yT3A

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGto_1jTXyg

[LANDY]

well i dialed in the shift points to shift at 6k, and by the end of the nite at 83* i ran a best of 12.56 @ 110mph. my 60 ft was 2.08. it was a good nite.

[Dennis Reinhart]

The night Landi was there was the night the car acted up I made one good pass and it was crap after that, I actually was convinced I hurt the motor, this is a Fox Lake engine with almost 65K on it, but as I said I found, this last week in the left cat.

http://web.iwebcenters.com/reinhartautomotive/images/session/00-00-1281581998-IMG_0040.jpg

Well Darin also sent me one of his built transmissions and it has been setting on the floor for weeks, Steve got it in yesterday, and of course it's raining here today, but I can say I like what I see so far, I love to go to the track but I hate to do it in 85 degree weather at 85% humidity, but I am going to put the car back on the dyno next week and I will get to the track with M/T before Marauderville, I want to thank Darrin, for all his support I will post pictures of the install and a video on the dyno I am installing all new security cameras in the garage, next week with audio, so I hope every one has a great weekend.:beer:

[Glenn]

Beautiful Blue MM and great work on the engine and the entire car. Keep us informed on how you are doing.

Glenn :beer:

[Dennis Reinhart]

Well we just got home, after rechecking the A/F since I found the bad Cat last week, the car made a solid 660 RWHP with a 75 shot, and the shift points are way off with Darrin's new transmission so I will be working on a street schedule as well as one with the M/T here is the video we shot today, it's 90 degrees here at 85% but we had the A/C on.
