    liberty

    I know Taylor Lastor tried a Liberty behind a clutch when he first built his legal pro mod a few years back. Had problems with it and went to conventional Lenco set up.

    I've seen one in a turbo car but I guess that information is useless for someone trying to go fast..lol.

    Bruno told me not to use the Liberty on a blown car. Not strong enough.

    Moran never went 5.99 @ 3000lbs he did go 5.99 @ 2650-2700lb though.

    Steve Summers has been 5.87 @ 257 with a bruno liberty and it has been flawless for him.

    I guess Bruno was being cautious. I think his son runs a Bruno with a Liberty in Comp in NHRA.

    They are rated for 3500 hp @ 3000 i have run one for many years with a 2400 hp sbc i have never broke anything inside. one big negative is if you have to pedal the car it can pop out of gear when there is no load on it.

    liberty

    thats a lot of power. I would think gutting it down to a 2spd would be a lot lighter than a CS2 lenco. I think they tend to stay in gear better with a converter drive if pedaled.
