how fast can a converter car go?

Can a Bruno/lenco car ever be competetive in pro mod?let's say low sixes at 225 or so mph?(depending on weather ,etc.)

 

Not sure about the bruno/lenco but Jason Hamstra has run in the 6.0's on several occasions and won at least 1 IHRA event this year in pro mod with a Lencodrive and a convertor .

 

I don't believe the Bruno is leagl in Ihra or NHRA ProMod. As far as convertors go... Mick Snyder has gone in the 5.50's in NHRA TAFC with a Lencodrive.

 

Weve run 6.25 @ 230 with a Bruno... AJ 481X...

 

your bruno

Any relation to Bob Bunker?Whats this combo in?Just curious.I just want to know if what I want to do is possible with what I have.thanks

 

Yes, Bob Bunker is my gradfather. We run a PSI with the aj in a 63 vette. e mail me for questions. jason_bunker@yahoo.com

 

i remember reading somewhere that the reason the bruno is not legal for promod is because it has an external oil line whereas a lencodrive is legal and does not have an external oil line. both are 30.1 sfi certified. i know a titanium can in lieu of either a bruno or lencodrive bellhousing is highly recommended when using a blower in promod, alcohol dragster and alcohol funny car. a bruno's bellhousing only covers the top 1/2 of the converter whereas the lencodrive's bellhousing has 360' converter converage but both need their aftermarket bellhousing replaced with a $3,000.00 can.

 

Browell makes a steel can for the lencodrive .

 

Browell also makes a steel can for Bruno drive, with or without starter pocket.
