Heavy Car Chute Setup I'm chasing the 8s this season in my full weight street car. My trap speeds are 150-160 so I'm going to be needing a chute, but from the research I've done myself, my car does not fit on any of the charts from Stroud, which is where I was going to go. I'm wondering if I have to go to the expense and complexity of two chutes? My car weighs at least 4300 with me in it, 3995 when dry.
What has everyone done with similar setups as mine?

Looks like 430 standard is the size you want. Remember, as the cars get heavier and faster the chutes get smaller. Sounds weird. I just put a 420 on mine due to expecting a 3200 race weight and traps around 150-165 one day. I coulda snuck into the 430s but decided not to.
