The HP increases are automatic. To get a reduction in HP for your combo you have to submit the AHFS form on the NHRA competition web site and ask for a HP reduction review. The reduction is usually only for the combo that was requested. I did it a couple of years ago for my combo and got 4 HP back. I think you have to wait 2 years between reductions. You have to be currently running the combo for a valid request.
