We just bought a Lenco CS-3 at the college I go to. Cost us $7500.

Never heard anything good about jeffco though....

I run a CS1 in my fuel altered/funny car.

Jeff Boyd left Lenco many years ago and started Jeffco Performance. As far as Jeffco's capabilities, Ed Thorton, won several PSCA Pro Street championships running a Jeffco transmission.

I wanted one of these so bad, just cost to much. Over ten grand w/crower glide and a bell housing.

You see them sometimes in (ORSCA) Outlaw 10.5 and Pro Mod classes down my way.

What type of car were you going to run a Crower Glide clutch? I ask because i run a Crower Glide 3 disk clutch in my fuel altered.

I was gunna try it in my truck, until I read up on it. I lost my left leg in a car accident. I thought it would work as a pedal-less clutch. Not the right application. That and it is over kill for a small block that doesnt burn nitro. A passing idea, just remembered pricing it out.

What about Electric shifters or Air shifters? Seeing more of them now.
I love to hear the air shifters when the put in and out of gear during burn outs.Click Click.... Click Click......

Gotcha...yeah, and there is no price break on the BRT and Lenco drive units. Good call on the Crower Glide because I'm making right around 2000 hp and barely make enough hp to make it work. I still keep an eye out for a Bruno or Lenco drive unit just in case someone is getting rid of one cheap, but today, I would probably back it with a G-Force or Liberty.

Yes, my CS1 is air shifted.

I have been looking into finding a used Donovan unit to put in front of a 3 speed lenco.
Some thing about grabbing gears seems to fun.

How would crower glide work on the street, power issues as side? Would it act like a nasty converter that engaged @ a contistant engagement speed. Or is it a bad idea and not usable? I'm guessing its useless because I'm interested in i..

It would be kind of unruly on the street, IMO. The engine would have to overcome a lot of inertia (takes a lot of HP), it requires a lot of RPM, and then you would probably have to go through lots of floaters/cutters and disks (I go through a set of disks and floaters about every 3-5 passes).

I ran one in a S-15 drag truck I had. It still had a plate so I would drive it on the street now and then just for fun .. Not very nice at all for street use. For the track I loved it but ended up going over to a glide in the end. Was easier for me to get the truck to hook. I was running a 742 BB , so traction was a bit of a issue... Overkill but sure was fun!!!!

Lenco on the street? Sure, I did it and although cool it was not very practical or fun in normal driving.

Crowerglide? I can't see this working well at all. Given its centrifugal design.
