I spent the last week up in Indianapolis Indiana with Lonnie at Blue Oval Chips and the Cozzolino Motorsports crew. Had a great time and was subjected to Lonnie's boot camp of sleep deprivation for two days straight working. Sunup, sundown, and then again. I couldn't think straight at the end and took nap before I went home. haha I don't know how he does it. He's a machine. But yes, you can do it and still live. haha Plenty of cappochinos, dunkin donuts, and subway breakfast wraps loud dyno cars, and you're set. Just stay away from (that gas station I got non ethanol 5 gallons of gas from), pretty weird stuff going on over there... hah. Also learned about the Indiana "Chocko" chocolate YooHoo type drink that comes in a can and is non carbonated. Pretty good stuff. All in all, we ran the car and tweaked it. The broke list included a passenger side half-shaft axle, serpentine belt, alternator pulley and some old dead street tires wasted.
Found out that my Coil on Plugs are the weak link in my setup. They cant handle the extra boost and higher RPMs. Just ordered an MSD DIS 4 setup and will be sending it up to him with wires to go back to old school setup with twin coil packs. Then re-dyno. Should be good to go from there. Here is a video of it making power only to 4500 where is rapidly lost spark and freaked out the dyno software. Nothing but squiggly lines. haha.
I actually became a "trunk monkey" and climbed into the rear trunk to ad my measly 178lbs like that was going to help get traction. Ill put that vid up next. Surreal how the noise gets so loud that it cuts out on my camera phone, then comes back in. Then we put over 250 lbs of sprint car weights into the trunk, with toolbox of heavy steel implements, and also a full 5 gallon pail of chains and hooks. That's why the rear is sagging so bad. I'm not air ride anymore.
Heres a video link to my photo bucket. http://vid176.photobucket.com/albums/w195/wingmaker7/Black Lincoln Mark VIII/shaker_zpsbd2aade3.mp4

Good luck sorting it out! Bring it to SSHS14 if you can get it done by November 1 :thumbsup:
