drag chute size
drag chute size looking to have the car weigh no more than 3200lbs (depending on what race we are at)
running 8th mile only... no more than 145mph in the 8th for a while
race brakes all the way around in a 2002 camaro...
what chute size would you reccomend from stroud?

Most chute mfgrs have application info....
Look at the lower part of this link... There's a good "guesstimte calculator" there..

i've looked at that before and just thought do i really need a "prostock" sized chute?
of course i guess them being very light helps them stop pretty easily...
i would need one around the 460 range...

LOL, by that calculator a 3200 lb car that goes 150 needs a "480" chute which isn't made, so I'd need 2?
Eventually I know that I will get it down to 3200 and it probably will trap at 150 someday when I finally put it to it...... I don't think 2 chutes are needed, that seems way overkill

I have no problem buying a bigger one, but by that calculator I'd need 2, which seems really overkill.
I have never been in a car with a chute and I don't know how much it slows the car, I imagine it slows the car a ton.

i've got a friend with a dual chute 4th gen back half car and once he put the extra chute on he said it made a HUGE difference.... doesnt have to use the brakes near as much...
its also a 3000lb car running 155mph in the 8th...
im suprised brady's car (black bitch) doesnt have dual chutes as fast and as heavy as he is.... i be its a bear to stop on a short track...
