I haven't done mine yet, but once I finish my cage I'll be doing it next. I bought a Simpson Skyjacker and a Summit release handle with cable. I plan to have the chute mount go in place of the rear bumper and come out behind or right below the license plate, but my 2010 may be slightly different where the bumper is behind the bumper cover.

What are your plans as of now, or are you not really sure yet? I thought about using the e-brake handle, but I drive mine on the street some still, so I have a handle just for the chute. I'll probably mount the handle near the shifter somewhere.

I will probably go with the jpc set up, as far as chutes go, I use all my gear from dj safety, I thought about the handle and is still one of my options but sometimes I still forget I don't have ebrake and I'm so used to poll the handle that sometimes I pull it ang I go wtf.....lol

Definitely would like to see what everybody is using out there. I'm prolly going to go with the jpc set up.

Here's the chute on my Fox, from www.tigvision.com. I know he has built chute mounts for S197s as well, but I couldn't find pics.

I used a Simpson chute from Summit Racing, a Tig Vision mount, and a Chassis Engineering release handle & cable.

OP, what specifically are you looking for info on? The mount, release, style of chute, brand of chute, etc.?

I will say this, a chute was a BIG help in stopping my 3800# street car from around 150mph. That much weight and poor brakes was rough at tracks with the shorter turn offs. I use a Stroud spring launched chute (part# 430). It came highly recommended for ease of packing and non-jarring deployment. I had packed several brands and can say the Stroud was nice being it gets packed into a bag and then put into the pack with the spring. At the top of the track I pull the release and the car has a gentle pull as it quickly decelerates. WELL worth the price.

It is on my foxbody. I use the Wolfe rear bumper and chute mount. Great construction and build quality.

This setup from JPC is about the slickest I've seen for our cars.

You might check out the Wolfe chute mount too. They are top quality and hand built. They are local to me and everything they do is high quality. I bought their 10 point cage kit and installed it in my car and it fits nice and tight.

I wonder how hard is to open the trunk on that set up as i have a fuel cell and intercooler tank there!

I know it still opens , but it is somwhat close. If you plan on running a wing they will modify the mount to extend further out to clear the wing, so they could modify it even if you don't run a wing.

That's the only one I am familiar with, we ran it on chevykiller, I would like to get other ideas as well.

maybe giving them a call.

after having one of those chutes with the spring packed in with the chute you will quickly HATE IT!

shroud launcher! used the cable to pull the spring back put the cross pin in put shute in bag and lace up and pull the pin! no big ass spring to smack you in the face or chest

The launcher set up is nice and does have that advantage. But I would not say I hate packing the spring style lead chute. I pack my Stroud chute by myself with out issue or hassle.

Thanks,

Please feel free to post more tech, install info!

the old RCI (think it was an RCI) gave me so many issues keeping the spring in place while packing it

Yeah it is going to be a Simpson chute..I haven't bought it yet as I am still waiting on the turbo kit to be finished...That is the Skinny Kid Race Car Wing..

Ya, maybe a stiffer spring or different design. My Stroud is easy to pack. But no doubt a launcher is very nice.

I love the set up we have! Its a pretty somple install and works great on street cars. The ones we do here in the shop we hook the cable to the E brake handel. Just keep the saftey in when your not runing down the track!
