NHRA will not derate combos at will. They rely on statistics. If a combination is run and it meets the criteria to have hp removed and it is requested, it will be removed. Read up on the AHFS at nhraracer.com.

Not sure if this combo being discussed has them, but, Mopar also gets Edelbrock Aluminum heads.

Oldsmobile?
No can do.

In my case a 29 HP penalty and the Edelbrock aluminum head is NHRA approved but NOT LEGAL AS SOLD!!!

Yes,you are right, 5 horsepower.

I guess this isn't such a good combo after all.

I think Edelbrock sells some Oldsmobile heads. Maybe you should write NHRA and see if they would consider allowing them Daryl. It can't be too easy to find good cores anymore. Pretty good case for allowing them. Heck, it is hard enough to find SBC stuff, some of the BOP stuff is getting rare.
