Guess it doesn't matter. Nov 17 was cut off for request. I thought it was Dec 17th.

Ask for the reduction and blame the delay of your request on Covid!

The hp rating is supposed to be for eng. and platform. My car is a 1981 camaro with a 305 rated at 237 hp. In a nova it's 230. also different in a impala . My hp was hit several years ago by a 1984 firebird witch is a totally different car,but the novas did not .

This is correct. I recieved an email from Pat C. and he stated the same thing. My letter is on file for next year as I sent 3 weeks to late.

According to an email I received from Pat C, according to the the new wording 'Once an engine family receives a horsepower increase it is not eligible for a decrease' they mean if the NHRA HP is greater than the factory HP it will no longer be considered for a HP reduction. That about eliminates any HP reductions IMHO. Thought I saved the email, but I can't find it.
