Here's some links to the current rules...
http://www.nmcadigital.com/dl/rules/cps.pdf
http://www.nmradigital.com/dl/rules/cs.pdf
The discontinued sealed Coyote engine is allowed to run @3000lbs, it needs the weight break to be competitive with the current Coyote which runs @ 3175lbs.
Discontinued Coyote currently runs at 9.93 lbs/ci
2015-up Coyote currently runs at 10.51 lbs/ci
DR525 LS3 currently runs at 8.51 lbs/ci
The most popular transmission used in Coyote Stock is the GForce G101A. Chevy Performance Stock is allowed to use that same transmission/ratios, also allowed to use the exact same clutches that the Coyotes are using.

Would be nice to know what is causing that before you switch to a different clutch. Curious if a small alignment issue with the bellhousing can cause this. What does the splines in the hub of the disc look like?

And despite all the talk from the peanut gallery about how they needed to have sticks in the class, not one stick racer showed up all year.
For this past year CP stock was at 3200, coyotes were 3000.
If any big talker stick guys ever show up, the autos will be left in the dust and the class will run 9s.

I'm interested to see what CP Stock stick guys might come up with for the clutch to compete with Coyote Stock at the NMCA/NMRA Superbowl, as they both have the same 10" minimum disc w/ diaphragm PP rule. There was a rules clarification for both CPS and CS mid sept that specifies foot release of the clutch pedal with no electronic, hydraulic, or pneumatic device allowed. The result was near mutiny in the CS ranks when they found they could no longer use the ClutchTamer to control clutch lockup. After an emergency meeting the next day, CS rules got another addition to specifically allow use of the un-modified ClutchTamer. Likely since there were no CPS racers using the ClutchTamer at the time, their rules didn't get the same added ClutchTamer update.

Well that ******* sucks. Why is it the furds alwats seem to come up with a rules advantage. You think your coyote is as good....make it weigh the same. Don't let one have a slipper device and the other not. It just turns the whe mess into bullshit then.

The engine in this car isn't CS legal, but it's using the typical CS legal ClutchTamer controlled RAM diaphragm clutch. Notice how far the clutch is able to slip off the line without going up in smoke down the track...
Launches so high it doesn't sound like it needs a 2-step, note the 4 lug axles. Launching that high with the typical counterweighted clutch setup (like most of the rest of the class racer world uses) likely would not end well.

I was willing to run the class initially but when they decided not to allow manual trans then that was it for me. Cost was a major concern for me. Others that would have ran the class moved on also.

Yea they screwed it around from the start. A guy is gonna spend alot of $ to build a car and go to the races. By not allowing sticks in it they let the cs class get a leg up. Now those guys will be behind the curve and it seems the rules will try and keep them there.
