Aftermarket/Replacement Cylinder Head Rule Change
 

Any News as to how the HP factors will be effected with the new rules combining them with OEM heads?

Where are you seeing the aftermarket head rule I am missing something ? I know several combos allow them but I didn't see any new rule about them

Its coming out with the HP releases next week. NHRA is deleting all the different HP factors and combining them all in to one factor for each combo that has approved aftermarket heads.
I was wondering if anyone knew how they were going to determine the new "single HP factor" where the OME head was rated higher than the aftermarket head HP factor and vice-a versa?

Nice, and you guys think that there are NO crate motors in NHRA....

Maybe Mike Crutchfield can give us an update.

Its getting real hard to find some of the older factory heads that are 40 years since they have been produced. I welcome the ability to start with a brand new casting. Just keep the original valve size, port volume and chamber volume as original on the NHRA head CC volume list

Give everyone a stock replacement aluminum intake too and there you go.

Just say "no".....to aftermarket heads.

I could be wrong but I don't think it is practical to use the Edelbrock head on the Max Wedge, the port mismatch would be quite a challenge since you cant enlarge the ports. If they raise the iron head HP to the aluminum head HP the factor would be higher than the original.
