Tire Help for Heads-up Manual Transmission Class

Stick to basic 'meat and potatoes' components that have been working for Stock class cars for years, Soft Lock, alum flywheel, G101 and the 10 x 28 should be plenty of tire to get you well into the 9 second range. Run the clutch as loose as you can get ways with and oh yeah, don't use the clutch to shift.

Coyote Stock is a sealed engine NMRA class that requires a minimum 10" dia single disc diaphragm clutch.

Correct, and a “Diaphragm Pressure Plate assembly is required”.
