Does altitude make any difference at all in horsepower? The engine couldn't give 2 hoots at what altitude it is tested at - it only cares what the air pressure, temperature and humidity is. Sea level at 28.02 inches baro is exactly the same as 4000 ft at 28.02 inches, as far as the engine is concerned. When tested at 5000 ft, we get virtually exactly the same power (corrected to atmospheric conditions, of course) as we do at sea level - It's just about 24%-25% less on the track! I am confused why some dyno operators insist on putting altitude on their charts and swear that it's a factor.
It does if not then tell me why climbers that climb everest usually take oxygen with them? Why because the air is less dense and has less oxygen per cc^3. If the density of oxygen in the air is lower then there will be a lesser explosion. Engines are nothing else than an air pump.

Could someone tell me how much it costs to have my car dyno'd? I'll probably use a facility with a Dynojet. I've never read what anyone said they paid.
