Default parachute????

so im at the end of my new build, and the 10 point is going in pretty soon. i have found a 10" simpson good for 200mph, and was woundering what everyone else is running. I dont see me trapping more than 156 myself.


crx
730whp
2200lbs

replies would be a great help in this area

Stroud Super Comp -- it is the smallest auto one they offer

the best option -- don't go by the parachute manufacturers calculations for weight and MPH -- they don't add up correctly for our FWD cars, the back end is too light to use a large chute that they recommend

Jeff Evans' problem had nothing to do with the parachute..

But yes, James is correct, get the Stroud Super Comp from IPG, thats whats on my car, works great (when I need it).
